Considering amphipods in display tank

[Seabiscuit]

I am considering adding live amphipods to my semispinosus tank. My concern is if they might bother the seahorses at night. Does anybody have an amphipod/fish setup?

like gammarus? I’d be more concerned for the pods...hows those Seahorses and where did you find them?

Yes, the seahorses I got from the lfs can eat all they want during the day. I'd like to increase the biodiversity in my ecosystem for my seahorses.

you have somewhere you can put chaeto? Sorry I didn’t answer the original post:
I have those pods everywhere. I have no clue how they manage to move around, they just show up.

I’m thinking if you just dump them in they will just be food. I’d at least set up some type of refugium at first; let em get a foothold, save some $$$$

Exactly my thoughts. I have a small grow out tank to house the main group of amphipods, adding some to the display tank periodically.
