Love the horses!

Can you at least get brine eggs and hatch them yourself?

Not local to me.


If someone knows somewhere online where I could find some live brine or eggs, please lmk!

Anyone have any suggestions for a seahorse that only eats cyclopeeze shrimps?
It has only ate 4 shrimps in,now, 5 days. It does NOT want food. At the LFS,15minutes away, it was eating frozen mysis and brine and now it eats almost nothing.

Were these wild caught? Also, 4 seahorses is really pushing the limits on a 30 gallon. 2 would be the recommended maximum. As for feeding, you are going to need to get some live foods if the horse isn't eating.

I know. That was my limit. These were captive raised. 3 of them eat non stop but the red one did not eat at all.

Thanks, this rock work is actually VERY simple. The center is just 1 giant rock, my lfs had it in one of their displays and I thought it would look perfect as the centerpiece, it has natural shelves and caves. Then around the sides of the big rock I added multiple small pieces of branching rock to create some area for the sea horses to rest at along with the gargonian and grass bed.

i woudl suggest buying some pods and adding to the tank, sea horses and pipe fish both eat them.

i have bought from here before and they all showed up alive and well and my mandarin loves them!

I did buy a small bottle of tigger pods and put them in the tank, I believe they were, and the seahorses seemed to like them alot.

Thanks for the links!
