Awesome! Are there any other fish in the tank or will it only be seahorses?

Have you researched horses and their needs?

For now only seahorses, I may add a fourwheel drive goby (signal goby) in the future.

I feel like I have a good understanding of the needs of seahorses. I could always learn more though. Mine are captive bred so hopefully not as much of a challenge as the wild caught would be.

I just put them into the tank and now since it is 2:30 in the morning am considering going to bed but I'm going to watch them for a few before I do

Since you have researched seahorse keeping, I guess my only concern is tank size?
What species seahorse? Most, with the exception of dwarf and pygmy, can reach a height of 7 inches. And even juvies need space.
Can you post photos?

I will post pics as soon as I get home. I'm at work right now and I don't have any pictures on my blackberry. As far as tank size there's no immediate danger. These guys/girls (I can't --- them yet) are really small. The tank looks almost completely empty. I am aware though that in the future this could create a problem and I am willing to create an environment when the time comes to suit the fish

What are they eating, at this point?
