Thanks everyone for the input The four new girls I "rescued" are doing much better today, however, I think Tom's diagnosis is most likely the cause. I swabbed some white parasites off the girls yesterday. They are all eating, but are still very weak. ~ Rykna))

I'm sorry you lost the lil' guy. Don't give up

Ponies love flow!! Do you have a pic of your set up???

They're so cute! I be praying for you

Is it possible that a TB seahorse may not learn how to hitch if they are a species that does not hitch when they're first born?

Hi! Welcome abaord Well first off, if you planing to get any kind of seahorse of than dwarf seahorses~you're going to need a much larger tank. What aquarium sizes do you have available?

Definitely a bristle worm. However, if you ever see a tiny, thin, white worm about 1cm in length~move all you horses into a hospital tank. These little parasitic terrors claimed my first seahorse.

I have a list around here somewhere that tells all the corals that are safe for pony tanks. When I find it I'll post it

We'll all be praying for your little horse. And as zeke92 said, it's not silly, I name and love all my fish....especially my seahorses. So I posted this thread many months ago. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/295520/so-you-want-a-seahorse "Seahorses are the most unique fish I have ever had...

Put the little girl into a Hospital tank if you haven't already. Do you have neosporin in your house? If so, grab some Q-tips and put a small amount of the cream on the Q-tip(3-4). Go over to you horse. Gently scoop her(looks like a female?) up and position her flat on your hand with the...
