Hi, I have had emerald crabs with tiny pipefish and with young erectus and no problem while they have enough to eat. If they run out on algae then it could be a problem. Now, I have lost a few pipes to sargassum crabs and larger shrimp. Ro

The first video is of the artemia swarming on the spotlight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmZUmxYgk_0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ48CGSZ1XQ

Yes, IMO you can keep some in a tank that size but you have to really keep up with the water changes and make sure the temperature stays acceptable (65 to 75 F) and it does not fluctuate. I would say Zoanthids are not ok for the zosterae. They are safe for the larger species of seahorse but...

I think I have found a way to keep dwarfs in a larger tank!!! The biggest issue is to make sure the dwarfs get enough food (Artemia nauplii) passing by them so they can eat it, right?? Well since the baby brines always swim towards the light, I have installed two submersible spotlights in my...

He died 2 days ago :(... I tried to target feed him but the tail stub was infected and I think that took him out. Originally Posted by Keri I would think trying to attach something to him would just stress him out but he may find a way to balance himself, i used to have a whole tank of...

I have several artemia hatcheries going on for my other dwarfs so I'll just make sure and give them extra... once they get a bit biger I'll move them to a tank for themselves.

I took this video of one of my males giving birth this morning!!! about 18 maybe 20 babies came out. I had to move my pipefish out of the tank fast. The vid is long but worth watching!! Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlU9giKHPuY

A green blenny, goby and shrimp. All collected in the Sebastian Inlet on seagrass flats with an aquarium net.

I got a seahorse in a clump of sargasso that had no tail. I swims upside down and some times it manages to hitch upsidedown with its nose. Does any one know if I can make a prosthetic tail so it can swim right side up?? mabe not to hitch but to counterbalance him??? Thanks

Some pics of the collecting place and some seahroses and pipefish we collected. More pics later

Well, we did not find any zoanthids or rics we found a ton of other stuff!!! Dwarf seahorses, erectus (in the Sargasso), 3 different species of pipefish, trunkfish, 2 species of filefish, Sargasso fish, frogfish, blennies, gobies, wrasses, flounder, and a ton of plants. Once we got home we...

Thank you all for your responses... We leave Sunday and come back on the 10th... I will post the results of my collecting here. Ro

My family and mi brother-in- law’s family are going to Florida for a week. We love saltwater fish and we have collected in the Caribbean and Central America before but never in Florida. Does any one know what is ok to catch and what not??? We will be near the Sebastian Inlet/Vero beach area...

The Dwarf's are much more difficult to care for than the Kuda or the Erectus because of the following... - They need to be fed live baby brine shrimp (just a few hours old) 2 to 3 times per day. - They need a small tank because they tend to stay near the bottom and when you feed them the brine...

This tank does not have a strong enough filtration for any type of coral because for the seahorses don’t like strong current and the babies get sucked up in the filter. So I decided to just have seahorses and some snails in this tank. Ro

This tank was first setup at the beginning of last year and served as a quarantine tank for a while. The seahorses where added early this year. We have some turtle grass, some caulerpa, halimeda and some type of eucheuma. In the pictures you can barely see a string of caulerpa and no turtle...

Here are some of my dwarf seahorses breeding tank, some with babies... Ro

The eel is about 30" long or so. We are more afraid of the eel than the sharks... She will try to get a finger every time. Ro
