No, they are tank-raised. As I've said, I've had h. kuda and I currently have h. comes and both pairs loved/love playing in medium flow. However, I understand that all 'horses are different, so my suggestion is to play around with the flow for the first few days and get a feeling of what your...

This is a GREAT list to have, especially for a newcomer to seahorse-keeping, however, this list was taken from Seahorse dot org and the author of this article, Will Wooten, has not given anyone outside of SDO permission to post this list elsewhere. The folks over at SDO are actually a little...

Great suggestions on this thread, however I disagree about low flow being necessary, except maybe with Dwarf Seahorses and babies. A lot of seahorses in the ocean can be found in areas of mid- to high-flow, and since a lot of our seahorses were born and raised in the ocean, why should we give...

I am SO jealous of all of you who were actually able to swim with the Loggerhead Sea Turtles. I absolutely adore them! Those are beautiful pictures, peef! Can't wait to get my license!

Hmm... I know several people who have whole tanks dedicated to anemones, so that whole "only one anemone per tank" thing is ludicrous. As far as the clownfish go, I don't know why they're only swimming in one spot, but the ammonia may or may not have something to do with it. You definitely...

Definitely fatten him up... a skinny puffer is a sad sight to see My two like to eat fresh krill, clams, mussels and shrimp. You could also add some vitamins to what your feeding him, which should help.

That size tank is a perfect seahorse playground I don't recommend doing Dwarf seahorses in such a big tank, but any of the other larger ones would do perfectly! How much do you know about keeping seahorses? They do require milder temperatures, with most needing a temp between 72* - 76*. Some...

Wow, looks great! We have that same exact tank for our seahorses!

Have you ever heard any "clicking" noises coming from your tank at all? Have you tested for ammonia/nitrites/nitrates? I see that you say you test and never see a spike... what kind of test kits are you using? Strips or liquid?

Aw heck, why not? I have the time to ask a few preliminary questions: 1.) Have you ever had a saltwater tank before? If so, what kind and how long did you have it? 2.) What kind of seahorse are you wanting to get? Dwarf or h. Kuda, h. Reidi, etc.? 3.) What kind of set-up do you have for a...

There's a "Search" button at the top right-ish of the screen. That will be a HUGE help in the days to come

It depends on how big of tank you want, what kind of seahorses you want to keep, what you plan to do with the tank, etc. Tell us your plans and we can give you a better idea of what you can expect to spend

I think almost all fish eat copepods... I know Gobies do, and Firefish are Gobies. My two Black False Percs will pick them off the glass... Anyway, with that said, congrats! It's really hard to find a Mandarin that's eating frozen
