A young tank will have a difficult time supporting a pipefish with or without the tankmates listed. If you can trade the Naso, I would agree with that choice. A mature tank, perhaps, would help in keeping pipefish. Older tanks tend to have an established supply of live "snacks" available for the...

What are you considering? I have personal experience (entirely pleasant) keeping seahorses with other fish that would tend to inhabit the same areas in a natural setting. Research and common sense is a great guide. My tomato clown dislikes my SW Mollys but the mandarinfish is allowed to share...

Originally Posted by zeke92 very nice. whats that really tall plant in the middle? Thanks, Zeke! The tall plant in the middle is seagrass, a species of caulerpa. It really is supposed to be LONG not Tall. However my tomato clown does not like that particular length no matter where I put it...

The tank seems to be coming along. Wow, it is so much easier to maintain than it is to repair. I guess you can cure old tank sydrome! Still picking away at the aptasia. Here is a visual. As you can see, I am pretty fond of the first male. The second male is the original from 1.5 years ago. Their...

We also have the seahorse LPS ( ! ) from when Monique was 10. She's 13 now and so her toys cost more in the 100's . That tank is very cute! I had never seen the clownfish...he is darling. Though I have heard they are too aggressive to keep with seahorses....and please tell me that's not a clam...

That layout design is pretty cool looking. I get caught in such a design rut..but that looks very refreshing and interesting. Are your plants rooted in the rockwork, mostly, or?

It's like a gorgeous "Where's Waldo"! Those seahorses must be in heaven. Beautiful tank!

A word of caution; nature apparently did not intend for the seahorse (any species of seahorse) to have the opportunity to gorge. It is evidenced in their very natural habitat and anatomy. An overfed seahorse will expire as quickly as an underfed seahorse. I do believe, if you feed live food that...

Originally Posted by NyButterfly03 Oh I am SOOOO sorry to hear that. I have had a lot of losses too so I feel ya I just discovered today that my filter is too powerful for the fry and it sucks them in and they fight until they are just worn out and I think this may have been the reason my...

What is in the DT? Partially out of curiosity.

I guess I would first ask what the fish poop position pays, right? That has to be entry-level and the pay scale goes up from there? What a great group of folks! And I would like to add my regards to you young women and men who are a joy to talk to here. Not that I have reached geezer status...

Originally Posted by Suzy Temperature! I am not sold on the idea that certain species have certain temp ranges, unless we have those fringe species. I think the ranges of areas where certain species are found are so large. If we take into account the atolls and bays, and the temp ranges from...

Originally Posted by Suzy Are you talking about H zosterae or full sized equines? I had a colony of dwarfs for a few years, but I have learned a lot about raising fry since then so my thoughts on their lifespans have changed. But, I do not have them at the moment so any ideas are just...

I have noticed that SWF has different recommendations for different fish. I would think that they have a reason for this and that if a buyer follows the recommendation, where is the harm? If ammonia has accumulated during shipping and any damage has been done, I wonder if a sudden change will be...

I am a supporter of some old school ideas (and some not so old). I also like the idea of preventative maintenance and have been known to clean some things that are not dirty. This is good info. I am not the author, but I agree. "What Acclimate Means and Reasons for Acclimating- Ac·cli·mate: To...

Originally Posted by Suzy I must admit, I am very nervous about ammonia toxicity. I am so afraid that my fish will get a chronic respiratory issue causing long term stress more than any other issue. If my fish has good liver and kidney function, is there another electrolyte that will cause an...
