Hey y’all it’s been a minute I have a baby dwarf seahorse left that’s about 2 months old and a pair of dwarf seahorses, I have struggled with Hydroid colonies for a month plus I have manually removed and scrub off they still come back since I feed live bbs. I have lost 3 adult dwarf seahorses and struggle to keep a dwarf alive for over 4-5 months I plan to switch to a Seahorse rather than a dwarf seahorse eventually. Any thoughts and of course with my tank size of 10 gallons I can only have 1 pair or just a single? And would the mandarin goby be fine living with a large seahorse rather than the dwarves it does now .

a mandarin or a pair of seahorses should not be in a 10 gallon, its much too small. A pair of seahorses should be in a 30 gallon minimum, same for mandarin. Mandarins and seahorses also eat the same foods, mainly copepods, so they will compete for the pods. A mandarin is an exploring/roaming type of fish, it will explore a whole tank, but very confined in a 10 gallon. Please do some more research into their care
