I am really going to need to learn how to use my camera now, these were all taken on 'auto' mode, but really need to learn how to take some pics without relying on the 'auto' function'

Simon,

Yep, captive bred Hippocampus Kuda , wild caught are available but cost 3 times as much and are much more difficult to feed/look after obviously as they are used to their natural diets, which you have to try to mimic very well and at the same time, try to change their feeding habits to the feed that is easiely available to us here.

I also don't really like the idea of caught, as it can be very traumatic for the seahorses and usually they are caught in places like Indonesia etc, so have to make a mammoth journey, which I do not feel is fair.

Hopefully, given a year or so, and they may start breeding.
