seahorse

For about 2 1/2 years I have been developing an automated Dwarf seahorse aquarium. I had quite a few failures but this version seems to work well. Everyone, please look it over and give me your comments. A presentation is available on the following link...

I recently came across Duncans and were interested in adding in the tank. I’ve read mixed reviews online with some people mentioning no issues and others cautioning against. From all I’ve read they are peaceful so was curious to understand if anyone kept or any info if they are compatible with...

Hello all! I purchased a mushroom coral frag a few weeks ago, and they weren't sure of species but assured me mushrooms were safe with seahorses. Happened to find out that there's an elephant ear mushroom they could potentially eat a seahorse and fish. Looking online there were some that...

I’m having trouble figuring out what this thing is, a couple of them came on a clump of spaghetti algae I had purchased. I will post some pictures down below. Sometimes I will notice them swimming through the water column like a jelly fish when I shut off the pumps for couple minutes to feed my...

Planning on getting a pair of black seahorses I know about basic care but do you guys have any extra hacks or tips to keeping them ?

An update on the fish tanks in my college dorm room!

I am upgrading my tank, and am torn. I either want to get a bigger tank to do a more advanced reef, a large predator tank with few corals, or a tall tank with a few seahorse pairs and seahorse safe coral. What should I do? I currently have a 55 gal long mixed reef, I am able to redistribute...

I am just about ready to put this plan all together so I wanted to make a build thread for it. Just so everyone doesn’t freak out about the cycle, I have had my sand in one 5gal bucket and my dry rock in another with air pumps with ammonia doses for the past 4+ months so they are both properly...

Original post: https://seahorsewhisperer.com/how-to-get-new-seahorses-eating/ After taking so much time to research, plan and finally set up your first seahorse tank, “D” day finally arrives! In this case, I’m referring to DELIVERY day! The seahorses are finally here! Yay! But, after...

What do seahorses eat? How to feed seahorses in aquariums! Original post: https://seahorsewhisperer.com/what-do-seahorses-eat/ Simple enough question right? Or could nutrition be one of the reasons that people fail to keep them healthy in captivity? Seahorses might be fish, but they do not...

I see a lot of confusion about flow, so I thought I'd share a few of my articles from my own website here on reef2reef. Here's a link to the original: https://seahorsewhisperer.com/flow-in-a-seahorse-tank/ “Flow is one of the most important, and yet least understood aspects of a seahorse tank”...

I just got back home after a few months of travel. Special thanks to Tank It Easy for caring for the little guys while I was gone. Here is the video chronicling the reunion!

Thanks to captive breeding efforts, hobbyists can keep seahorses in aquariums much more easily these days. We have it so much easier than keepers 10 years ago, who had to struggle through "figuring things out", work with wild caught seahorses and learn mostly through mistakes. Today, we can...

Let me start out by saying I AM NOT PLANNING ON DOING THIS... just thought I'd like to hear why this isn't done:) I'm guessing temperature is the main factor in this. Being that seahorses like it cooler than what reef tanks are normally kept at. But what about some of the ponies that come from...

I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with two mated Occelaris clownfish and one extremely shy firefish goby, and it's been my dream to have a seahorse in there ever since. I'm getting some caulerpa prolifera Macro algae to put in there next week. I think I will have to feed a lot in order to give the...

I'm almost finished with the third and fourth videos in my macro series which will deal with the categories of macros and how their needs vary! Here's the playlist: you can click notifications to see the videos as soon as I upload :)

Hi all, First time post. I have a Nano Marine tank with 3 corals, a Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and a Black Common Seahorse. For about 2 weeks now, the seahorse has had a visible disease/issue with his eye, and it does not appear to be getting better. I have attached photos for a visual of...

What benefits can macro algae provide to a reef? How do you outcompete nuisance algae with macros? What's the difference between micro and macro algae? What's the best lighting for specific species of algae? What signs will tell you that caulerpa is about to go sexual or that different algae...

Hi guys, Ive got these seahorses through a friend and I cant really tell if these are: - 1 male and 1 female (erectus/lined). - Or 1 Ingen and 1 reidi (not necessarily male and female). I've attached 2 photos of each. The overall body shape and specially their abdomens are very different. Does...

Hey there R2R! My name is Lisa. I have been keeping seahorses for almost 2 years now and this will be my 4th time setting up a tank for them. I know, your thinking a tank every 6 months? Well, yes and no. A little backround. My father, a long time reef keeper, gifted me his 75g full setup when...
