Thank you. I've had to give away a few fish. But the group I have now all get along. The seahorses even let my fire shrimp clean them. I had a cleaner shrimp. He died. So I just got another fire instead. Add more color anyway.They look good! I tend to be cautious with my stocking choices and my seahorses, but I'm cautious by nature.
these are my 2 at feeding time. They eat twice a day and pods 24/7.
I just ordered from algea barn. I have a small fuge set up in the back. The sustain themselves now. I'll probably order again this month because I'm getting a mandarin goby. I have so many the seahorses move around the rock picking them off.
Do you feed mysis as well?I just ordered from algea barn. I have a small fuge set up in the back. The sustain themselves now. I'll probably order again this month because I'm getting a mandarin goby. I have so many the seahorses move around the rock picking them off.
Even if you don't have this anymore, absolutely beautiful!!Seahorses were the first fish I ever kept and I kept them for 15 years. Gotta say I liked the freedom from their care, when I finally gave them up. It was breeding them that really burned me out, as that is a crazy amount of work.
Don't go with the 4. They will take advantage of the space you give them. Mine loved to dance all day. I had 4 in a 50g.
Mysis and brine. I feed twice a day. Both mine are female. I judge how much they eat by their belly. I don't do anything special for them. They eat with my fish. I keep my tank at 77.5 and try to keep my parameters in check. Which has been a challenge as of late. But the seahorses made it through a crash about 7 months ago. I have a basslet that is starting to get big for my tank. He isn't aggressive but he darts around the tank sometimes freaking everything else in the tank out so I think I'm going to give him to a friend.
I also feed frozen mysis since my seahorses are captive bred and came trained to eat frozen. Usually mine eat twice a day, on occasion I will feed them 3Xs. Two female seahorses work just fine if you don't want to deal with fry. I ordered 2 females but my supplier got it wrong and sent me a pair, which is why I was thrown into trying to raise them only a month after getting my seahorses. Now I give the newborn fry away to a lfs owner who tries his hand at raising them.
