Originally Posted by ViPeR_930 I hope you meant 20 gal tall, not long. :thinking: 20 tall, if mating is a goal. Seahorses don't use a lot of vertical space. That's why I specify of the same gender. And NO tankmates in that size. 20Gallon's profile says that is the tank they have. I'm assuming...

The first was my pennant fairy, or social wrasse. I believe he was victim to an anemone I USED to have. I wish I could find another. The second fish I have two of, one in each tank, I like them so much! They sleep buried in the sand and when I turn the lights up, they stick just their heads out...

It's hard to tell...sponge? That rock has some nice coralline on it, it would be a crying shame to toss that! If you find you need to get rid of it (though if the thing doesn't move I would doubt it will be harmful) remove the rock, dig the item off and keep that rock. The coralline will spread...

In a 20 gal long, no other fish, 2 horses of the same gender. Seahorses are not a fish you just throw some food in for. Research carefully.

Seth, to be honest, I think you should wait a while before you try to support any more living creatures. I'm sorry for your fish. I can't give you sympathy, having viewed your threads. I think you may have your hands full with life right now. That is as it should be. Enjoy it. Take up the hobby...

I hear a lot about wrasse jumping, lately, but don't have that experience and haven't noticed a tendency in mine. They stick close to the sand and in the rock-work..I also have a 55. There are some 600 different kind of wrasse (2nd largest family, next to the gobys). Pretty fair selection. Just...

3 will be easier on your bioload, since you'll be adding them all at once.

Cleaning my tank Sat nite, had the same experience (though it's happened before). Gloves to handle the LR is a good way to avoid the problem, if you are smarter than me! Wrasse are fabulous to control the bristleworm population and they are pleasant fish. There will always be larger worms that...

I hope your fish will be okay. there are ways to cycle your tank without using livestock and that is preferred. Yes, after your ammonia spike, you will see that decrease and your nitrites will increase. Next, your nitrite will decrease, the nitrates will increase. PH would be good to see maybe a...

Additionally, be sure to research carefully the needs of each type. Some require sand to sleep in, so won't be okay with a CC substrate.

The wrasse are my favorite fish family and the choice seems endless. If you google "wrasse" you will find some spectacular indexes. However, finding the fish you have your heart set on for sale, is the trick. You have to decide personal taste on which wrasse, they are all so different. My own...

I'm new to zoo-keeping, but what undemanding little daisies they are!

Use a bowl or bucket in the bottom of the tank to pour the water back into. If you do this with patience, you shouldn't have a great deal of cloudiness. I just did something similar and it went very well. (Please don't move your tank with any water still in it, one wrong flex and you have...

I wonder what REALLY goes on while I'm at work all day..

Beautiful tank! I love the shot of the migrating xenia! I can't help noticing that your coraline grows better on one side..why is that?

I'm so sorry to hear! I would be in the same spot if things failed here, though smaller scale. I'm afraid manufacturers don't have very good hearing.. Very sad.
