Okay, here are some puzzle pieces.. "average seahorse weight" might be 3/4 oz. live weight. That does sound reasonable. If you feed the horse 20% of its body weight daily, that is about .15 oz, or about 1/8 oz. :scared: I looked at my frozen mysis and got further confused. The package says...

Originally Posted by reefreak29 actually feed a 1/3 of the cube 3 times per day,or a cube a day I agree with this if you have a good, hungry clean-up crew. For two animals like a firefish and your Valiant, one cube per day is gluttony. You almost have to overfeed the fish to be sure they get...

I also had coons in the attic, AND under the tub. Just moved into this house in January. I told my landlord about it. He told me nothing that big could get up there (or under there). I told him they had built a racetrack up there and run it full speed most nights. One evening, "someone" fell off...

I am also a 55 gallon keeper and would like to pass along experience. With tank size, your stock list could be maxed at 7 or 8 fish, depending on their adult size. Chromis are damselfish and they can grow to 3 to 4 inches and, IME, live for a long time (3+ yrs). Be sure that this is what you...

Kids say the darndest things! #5 got me started, and there were tears by the end. Thanks, teen, I did need that!

I have a Prism Skimmer (still running it) and did have a Magnum 350 canister. I stll have it, but have stored it to see what the live rock/ natural filter will do. The tank is a 55 and they are awkward little beasts. When the seahorses were in the tank, I had one powerhead, the Magnum and the...

Please be sure to keep us posted!

Can we see a floor to ceiling picture? You seem to have a high ceiling and I might think wall and ceiling racks, with wine glasses, cast iron or utensils to ID it as the spot. The nook makes me think cabin and so do the critters. The walls behind the nook are offset and so could really do a...

That clam picture is awesome! But the real deal is the full tank, in my opinion. You just rock! And I have NEVER seen a "pale" picture of your tank.

My answer to your question is without a doubt, if you are keeping your first seahorse, keep it as directed according to the species you purchased it as. Unless someone can without question change the ID. Don't introduce another species or anything of additional concern until you understand the...

I think the kellogi has a higher coronet than this seahorse. This seahorse has more of a Kuda look than kelloggi. I'm just learning ID's (after much seahorse keeping) and it is a very inexact thing. Plenty of conflicting info to drive you up a wall!

The first thing to know about seahorses is that in general they all have specific diet and tank requirements, depending on the species. The difficult part in answering broad questions like the above is that one answer does not fit all. One of the most commonly kept seahorses is h. (hippocampus)...

This from some other site (which, by the by, I wonder if they EVER update) Reidi One of the most desired species in the aquarium trade, it is imported quite often. Long, thick snout, narrow body, and no spines or cirri. Can be found in a range of bold, bright colors and usually is covered with...

Originally Posted by Rykna I can!!! Just tell me where to start....and does that have to do with age or growth???? It is a part of species ID. Start from the top or bottom and count the spines on his "back" or dorsal fin. Please post the number of spines, I'd like to learn. He will never have...

Troy is such a strong name. Hold him as close to your heart as you can (what a little doll!) for as long as he will let you. I have two girls, one graduates college next month They grow up SO fast. I have 2 questions.... What are your parameters and how did you acclimate?

I think it was August of 05. What under the stars happened? I feel like I have been beamed up.

The reason I love this hobby is because there are ponies there. They are such amazing creatures. Keep just one (just one) and you will see.
