I haven’t been active on the forum lately mainly because life has been crazy (nothing bad) but I saw a Facebook memory this morning that kind of caught me by surprise.

10 years ago today I received an order of Dwarf seahorses. If my memory serves me right I’ll be going on 12 years in this hobby, maybe even 13. Where has the time gone??

In that time I’ve spent 5-6 years working at my LFS, had probably 10+ tanks of various themes, kept some pretty cool fish and even had a 1.5 year hiatus due to a tank leak and boy did I miss this hobby during that time. In another year or two I’ll have spent half my life in this hobby.

Very thankful for this awesome hobby and a wonderful community of people.

Welcome!(back!?) lol

I've always been interested in setting up a seahorse tank but could never commit to it.
Mine didn’t last long unfortunately. I came to realize I didn’t have an adequate setup. Maybe one day
