Anything else you wish to share as related to Seahorse expertise In the two years I've had them, I haven't had to treat them yet for a health problem, and I believe many of the problems can be avoided with them by keeping meds on hand, RESEARCHING, and setting up a tank with their best interest in mind, not impulse buying and throwing them into your reef tank.

The very important verses are always written in red, like in some books, yes?

The truth is, every tank should be treated just this way. Not only if you intend to keep seahorses.
