I have 3 seahorse tanks (zosterae, comes, and erectus~it's not recommended to mix species though some have been successful) and a reef tank. My erectus tank has one cardinal in it. They've been together for a while and all use the feeding station. My other seahorse tanks are seahorse only...

I'm so glad to hear that!!! Congrats!! I work for a hospital in our cancer program and in research (very little going on right now because of funding) but I've gotten to help some of our neonatologists on a trial to help extend the gestation period with twins and triplets. So I'm thrilled to...

Unless you are going to keep a smaller seahorse like fuscus or zosterae it is recommended that you go no smaller than a 29g. (A 20g is a little large for the dwarf seahorse or h. zosterae.) The taller the tank the better. The rule of thumb is 3 times the length of the seahorse from tip to...

LOL! Dead. That's sweet. I can see my Mom doing that too. Okay, are you crafty? Want to give them back as a gift and score points? This is what I'd do: Go to the craft store and buy one of those wreath circles made out of grape vines and some ribbon in her favorite color. Make a bow on the...

I see you are in Washington. You probably have a similar species as we do here in California. Usually if they are on the beach they are dead. How can you tell if they are dead you might ask... mostly color. White = dead for the most part. When you see them in stores you are looking at the...

I love clown gobies!!! I have one (green) and his name is Jordan because he jumped out of my tank one morning! I don't know why. All of the sudden my husband started yelling, "fish on the floor!" I ran over scooped it up and dumped it back in. He's been fine ever since. Go figure. (My...

Hmmm, lets see... FL is about 3 hours ahead of me so it is already 630pm. Where are the photos?

Bigun had better survive! Does he not realize all the work and worry you have gone through! It would be rude to die at this point. Dan, I know there was a question of ciliates; do you think meowzer should add any deworming medication to the water?

I'm pretty sure you only tube feed them once a day. Still put in his favorite foods, live if you can and see if he'll start eating on his own.

Hypothetically, if I did send anything it was because I might have had some stuff on hand from when my seahorse was ill. But of course that is just hypothetically speaking. There were some wonderful people that helped me and gave me sound advice and I don't know what I would have done without...

Ahhh, they are so cute!!!

I'm sorry I wasn't available. I checked online as soon as I could. I'm sorry I missed you. Dingus couldn't have said it better (and I'm wishing you the best of health), they do touch us in a way that our other fish aren't able to. Each of my fish have a different personality and while I would...

Thanks Dan. I just didn't want it to seem as I was trying to undermine anything that you or Ann say. I've just noticed that when these wonderful creatures get sick the outcome usually isn't good. Bigun started getting worse so I thought what does meowzer have to lose. While you say you may not...

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean the confusion. If Dan doesn't think that they've had enough time to work then you should listen to what he says. Like I said, I can't begin to compare how much more experience he has than I do.

I'm sorry to hear that Bigun isn't doing any better!!! I was really hoping for a different outcome this afternoon. You don't know me. I have only kept fish since Sept 2008. I've only had seahorses for 6 months. Having said all that, I'm going to say something: I speak my mind. Some people...

I don't know, but the way I see it you are giving him a fighting chance.

I'm glad he survived the night!

Oh gosh. It's like sitting on pins and needles. You guys are in my thoughts!!
