LOL, I put the fake ones in there so I would have more places for them to hang onto....Hey, do you think my orangish horse is fat??? It looks much bigger than the other horse.

only get nervous when you see the dance..Then you have 12-17 days till he gives birth...Yours looks young....and might turn out female....but looks male to me from the pics

are clowns such as the b&w clowns ok with them or not?
I have 2 percula clowns, and they don't mess with the seahorses or their food, BUT the seahorse compatibility chart in this forum does not suggest clowns.
I have 2 yellow clown goby's, a lawnmower blennie, sixline wrasse, and a scooter blennie...they all seem to get along.
Definitely read the compatability chart in this site...

Clowns in general are a big no....but the most peaceful clown , occelaris can be tried but might outcompete your horse for food ,and might stress them out [ a seahorse that doesn't dance[for5-10 min.] a least once a day is stressed] I wouldn't do it....look up firefish....beautiful seahorse friendly fish
