I've heard they are very long lived..how old is this one? Not a spider person, myself, though I have held one that belongs to the son of a friend. Very odd feeling.

Strawberry Pseudochromis may be small, but they are hot and pack a punch. Not for the docile comminuty, though. They can be very aggressive. Beautiful fish.

In a species only tank, you may have a better opportunity to try things out with your new seahorses. If you do decide to offer a variety, I would say do so from day one. For instance, if they are large enough, offer a couple of krill with the mysis. These two foods look similar. Seahorses are...

If you don't have livestock in the tank right now, that would be a way to cure it. If you do have livestock, get a virgin Rubbernaid tub, add some cured rock and a powerhead and let it cycle. There won't be die-off from homemade rock, but the tank will "process" it just like any other new...

It depends on tank size and how much rock. It could cause a cycle (small tank lots of uncured rock) or it could be a blip on the screen (large tank small rock). What's up?

My kitty, who's name is technically "Sugar", but she answers to Shi#a$$, too.

Cocoboy, how big are the emeralds, porcelains and the banded shrimp? And, whoa! DACIA, how did it go adding the percs with the tomato? I've wanted to, but heard bad things.

Originally Posted by Schadiest1 3 weeks old today. All is well with Mama and baby. Haven't had much time for my tank though, but that's alright, it's doing well too. We would love to see photos, if you can! Tell, Mama (and Papa!) it takes you all. 'bless you!

I hope that when we look at info on EGBD, we realize that it is not air bubbles attaching to the seahorse, likewise with IGBD it is not that a seahorse snicked up a bubble and viola, a disease. I have read and reread info on these diseases (for years) and my personal opinion is that the common...

Originally Posted by Tiberius I would think the reason the seahorse likes the bubbles is the extra buoyancy. They probably like the way the bubbles feel all over them. It is their jacuzzi! I have had a bubble wand in my 110 for many years. I always liked how it came up between a bunch of...

Originally Posted by ophiura All I am saying is that this can cause you to miss problems. There have been many people who love to see their tangs "pace" a tank because they are so "excited" to see them, when in fact they are probably just to big for that tank. Was this seahorse interested in...

When I have an animal for 4 years, I, for one, do tend to attach "human" emotions to them. I might venture that if the animal were only a resident for a short time, that wouldn't happen as easily? Truly, I was not pleased with the seahorse's obsession with the bubbles, but it was a fact that she...

The "Pull up a chair" pulls one right on in! I also have a slow p.o.m., and so saw a sampling. Your favorites are wonderful! The sports shots, I have to say... that is a truly difficult, amazing, talented gift. Thank you for the very pleasant diversion.

This was my smaller horse, Fin doing what she loved to do. I know, I know. But I liked the bar across the bottom, back because it gave a dimension to waterflow that I couldn't get any other way..lifted the gradoo up and cycled it up and over the rock. In a 55, it was a help. I only ran it for...
