I don't think it's a grooming maneuver. Maybe more of an itchy thing. I have seen SH use the tail to get something off of their snout. They also do somewhat of a dance when they are trying to expel waste. And it can look a bit acrobatic..

I would also have to say it's another male. Nice looking seahorses!

I wouldn't add more fish, rbaldino. Though they may be small now, your fish will grow...the tomato clown can grow to 4 or 5 inches, itself. Maybe move forward with your corals?

My system has been running for 7+ years. And now, NOW, I am seeing two small aptasias. I couldn't even believe my eyes! I haven't added any new rock for at least two years... Does the stork bring this stuff? Of course the aptasia is on the rock with my favorite zoas. Does the aptasia harm other...

I think the commonly held opinion is that seahorses of different species carry disease that they themselves are essentially immune to, but that they can pass the disease to other species who are not immune. That is possible. I don't know. My own opinions are not neccessarily popular, but I think...

They may be experiencing some tech problems. Don't re-order yet. I don't think your info is at risk. Be patient.

I have a feeling that the head cone is more painful than the actual cropping of the ears! The practice is continued not just for looks, but for heritage.

Add some garlic juice..mysis, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

Are the percs a mated pair? If so, I would not add another "free-swimming" fish in a 20 gallon. Particularly not a wrasse. A pair of clowns will claim a very large area as their own. Wrasse like to explore and cruise. Probably not a good mix.

I LOVE it! My oldest is a 7 year old tomato clown. Looking forward...so is she!

What kind of help are you looking for? I believe there are color variations on the diamond spot gobys. They are active little sand cleaners, very entertaining and beneficial.

I don't think either will be able to acclimate to a true salt environment.

Originally Posted by Rykna Thanks!! Probably 4 inches at most, closer to 3.5..do you think I am feeding him enough? :happyfish Yes, as long as you are sure he is eating that amount, right now, that's fine with the pods to snack on. Did you add purchased pods?

If you still have ammonia and nitrites you are still cycling. Those are odd readings. Is your test kit new? After 3 months you should be seeing nitrates, not amm. and nitrites. We don't have to

Clowns and chromis are damsels, also. I would agree with the grammas on hardy (and colorful!), but are they peaceful? I have never had one.
