seahorses

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions on good corals to keep with my Seahorses. Looking for Coral good for a beginner, Also that doesn't take/ Need alot of calcium/ Magnesium. I am working on a 125G if that helps. TIA

I’ve been a member for 3+ years and somehow this is my first build thread. I’m showing off my latest tank that I’ve had set up for about 11 months now. There are no corals because I am more focused on keeping up with the thick plants and deep sand bed for the seahorses and garden eels. The...

Hi. I’ve converted my QT never had medication in it to a seahorse tank. She’s only 50L & cycled fallow 3 mths before adding new livestock. Weds, 4 days ago roughly I’ve added 2 very young long snout seahorses. 2 tiny baby spotted mandarin fish & 1 Ruby red also tiny baby size. Tonight my...

The LFS in Italy apparently don't believe in keeping captive bred fish and wild caught fish in separate systems. So, if I get seahorses, I'm gonna have to quarantine them. Seahorse expert Pete Giwojna claims hyposalinity at 1.010 - 1.012 SG (13.3 - 16 ppt) is a good treatment for seahorses...

I live in Italy, where summers are very hot and electricity much more expensive than the US. I'm gonna be keeping either Kuda or Erectus seahorses, so, despite the cost, I'm having to set up a chiller. What's the hottest temperature I can run a seahorse tank without risking infections or...

Hi reef2reef! I am starting a 32 gallon seahorse tank, and I plan on adding macroalgae instead of corals for that lush, planted look. I will be adding a pair of male seahorses (I wouldn't be able to take care of any babies!) My questions are: 1) When should I add the macroalgae? Before or...

I have a 20gallon and wanted to upgrade to around a 40 to 60 gallon tank could I get a pair or 2 of Atlantic seahorses my fish I’d be transferring is a pajama cardinal which I know is ok but would a canary blenny and x2 clowns be good since it’s such a big tank and after the seahorses I plan to...

I have 150 gallon tank I set up a year ago for soft corals and a mandarin goby. 2 weeks ago I added 4 seahorses and a fire goby. They don’t do much, so I would like to add more fish but would love suggestions first. I’m new to seahorses, is 4 enough? They seem super social with each other. I...

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

Ok, I have a 55 tank with a coral beauty angelfish in it and one frag of eagle eye zoas and one frag of hot pink montipora coral. I am planning on getting 2-4 erectus sea horses. Now, before you start, I am fully aware that they are SUPER hard to keep and Im up for the challenge. I easily have...

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...

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!

Wine Wednesday with the Whisperer is a new live stream every Wednesday at 8pm est on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYuBGdyryDe5iUirUMI47yQ. The idea is to grab a glass of wine and take a little time each week to all come together, share experiences, help each other and...

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...

When I set up my first seahorse tank almost 2 years ago I read some information from a reputable source that indicated fasting seahorses one day a week was healthy for them. Is this out dated information? Do any of our stallion keepers do this? Why or why not? I'm curious.

Who keeps a BB tank? I know that many horse keepers prefer bb tanks for their horses health and wellness. I thought it would be cool to see some pictures of your bb tanks! I personally still have substrate but, I am one step closer every day to going bb. Show us your bottom! ;)

Hello fellow horse keepers! I have a few questions about feeding stations and training your horses to use them. I have tried a couple different feeding stations and haven't had much success. Here are my issues and what I've tried... 1. A deep and wide clam shell. Pros: It looks very natural...

After years of telling my husband that we should have seahorses, he has finally agreed to help me set up a seahorse tank! We currently have a 125 gallon reef tank, a 29 gallon biocube, and a 15 gallon frag tank. Back in the fall we purchased a 65 gallon tank with stand, and have slowly been...

@Humblefish @melypr1985 I could use some advice and your expertise. Despite being quite careful with a solid QT process on almost all of my fish, I ended up with ich in my dual reefer set up. I expected to just manage it with a huge UV and selecting fish that could withstand it. Unfortunately...
