seahorse

I have been wanting to build a seahorse tank since I setup my most recent 50 gallon column tank. In fact, that tank was originally supposed to be a seahorse DT but I ended up making it our main reef DT instead. I'm starting this thread in hopes it will motivate me to move forward with this...

Ive noticed my seahorses courting each other and was wondering if when I feed them, I'm disrupting something. Or if it helps or anything like that. I'm relatively new to seahorses so I'm still learning

The guy who helps maintain my tanks says he thinks one of my seahorses was impregnated. I haven't seen any mating occur though. The only mature female doesn't seem to want anything to do with the males. Any thoughts?

I have asterina starfish in my seahorse tank and they keep latching onto the seahorses and irritating them. Can I get a harlequin shrimp to help? Second question: will a harlequin shrimp eat tiny bristle stars i have in my sponges and sea fans?

I'll be using this thread to document the process of getting the new setup running as well as the transfer and breakdown of the Red Sea tank. My...

My father bought a seahorse on his way home from South florida. And he, not knowing the difference, bought a wild caught seahorse. What should I do to prepare for it??

Hello everyone, male seahorse passed away today overnight, we thought he was pregnant as the pouch was enlarged but in the end we believe it had infected pouch. Our female seahorse has not been eating well, could the female have any infection/disease or anything? I have put it in a small side...

Have had a pair of seahorse now for about a month and half, both were doing well until recently the male started thrashing and scratching pretty bad, figured parasites so, did a freshwater dip with him for 8 mins about how long till he starts to bounce back if he will and when should I do a...

What’s wrong with my male lined seahorse? He already has pouch emphysema that I treat with pouch evacs a few times a week. I just came in today and noticed his eyes so swollen and his pouch looking weird. What should I do?

First post on the forum! Just about a month ago, I finally got dwarf seahorses again, setting up a slightly experimental tank for them in a 34g Solana cube AIO... So far so good, with 19 adults and several babies with more on the way! 4 days ago, one of my pregnant males gave birth to a handful...

I've always wanted to keep seahorses - fascinating little guys, finally decided to dive in, the only issue is finding a supplier for captive bred (or any) seahorses in Canada seems nearly impossible! I've heard a rumour there may be a breeder in my area, in London or Woodstock Ontario but...

Hey y’all starting a build(can document if interest) I am building an auto feeder for my seahorses. I am planning on using a mini fridge along with magnetic stirrer and dosing pumps/peristaltic pumps. Any recommendations for pumps? I was planning on going with jebao pumps, I know this isn’t a...

Hi everyone. I’m 2 years into reef keeping and I just don’t think I’m enjoying it like I should. i have a reefsys 255 tank with sump and I’m considering switching to seahorses. I’ve previously done quite a lot of research as this was my main reason for joining the hobby, but realistically what...

Hi everyone! I’m starting a project for my adorable captive bred seahorse herd. I found an amazing 150 gal 36” cube on offer up for $200! It had a stand but it was way too tall for me (5’1” person here), so I decided to build my own! I made it so the stand had a 1” lip on 3 of the 4 sides. The...

Hello, I work at an aquarium for starters. We have a coldwater seahorse tank (63°F) with nothing else in it. The tank has a ton of these anemone like guys. They look to be potentially colonial? It doesn't seem to bother the potbelly seahorses at all! But when I scrub the tank they seem to be...

All kinds of fun stuff happening here! Looks dull and boring from far but I've been enjoying using the magnifying glass to find all the tiny critters. We started out by accidentally bringing home a Cone Shell Hermit crab inside this Auger shell, threw him in a bucket of water with a nice algae...

Hello! This is my first time joining as a member in a reef forum ❤️ I wanted to see if anyone had previous experience caring for Western Australian Seahorse (subelongatus sp.), as I had a lottery’s luck with a reputable store front when perusing the shop. Unfortunately, the aquatic husbandry...

Hiya! I have a 15 gallon kreisel tank that I bought from liveaquaria a few years ago that up until now I have used for moon jellyfish. They lived their normal lifespan and now I have this empty tank and I’m wondering what else I could put in it? The tank is fully cycled and has live rock and...
