Seahorses?

[ghartman1234]

I've been dreaming and doing a plethora of research about owning seahorses over the past few months.
I currently have a 24 gallon tank (18" tall) with...
-2 black & white ocellaris clownfish
-1 firefish goby
-1 royal gramma
-1 yellow watchman goby and tiger pistol shrimp pair
-1 cleaner shrimp
-1 lawnmower blenny (disappeared almost 2 weeks ago, presumably dead?)
-several hermits
-duncan
-alveopora
-candy cane
-hammer
-elegance
-mushroom
-kenya tree
-rose bubble tip anemone

So subtract...
-cleaner shrimp
-rose bubble tip anemone
-hammer
-elegance
Everything taken out will transfer into my 120 gallon.

I would then plan on adding...
-2 seahorses (reidi or erectus)
-1 tailspot or lawnmower or starry blenny
-sea fans/gorgonians
-sponges
-finger leather
-kenya tree
-toadstool
-blastomussa
-acan garden

Let me know your thoughts or concerns for this potential plan. I'd love some advice.

That sounds fine. I recommend using some sort of turkey baster or something like that to put the food right in front of the seahorses to help minimize waste from left over food. Hermits and nassarius will be handy. Also as you probably know they like gentle flow but if you didn't just keep that in mind. My experience was with erectus.

Thanks so much. Only thing I think I'm worried about is my watchman/pistol duo. They are very territoral of their cave system and I kinda feel bad cuz I'm gonna re-aquascape before adding seahorses. I once added a small rainfords goby and within 2-3 days it died and I can only assume it was my watchman being defensive. Hopefully won't mess with the seahorses.

Unless it's one of those giant pink watchman I'm guessing you will be fine.
