Thanks NM and jawfish101. Hi alyssia, yes they are very difficult to keep. Are your horses wild caught or tankraised? My pipefish eat pods and critters they find in the tank..just like mandarins. I have a pair of African bluestripe pipes in my refugium,and the female dragonface in the display. They have very tiny mouths.

your tank inhabitants look awesome by the way
It would be hit or miss. I had a clown in with my horses that was fine but I have heard others say their clowns didn't do good with their horses.

No..nothing that is aggressive in any way or that will outcompete the seahorses. They also need different flow...very low. Tank raised is best, as the wild ones can come in with some terrible diseases. Prepare to pay a good chunk of change for them though. Pipefish and mandarins are considered good tankmates for seahorses. Also, no corals that can sting,aggressive inverts or anemones.

They are CB. They eat frozen mysis. I will have to pass on the pipefish, my horses are only in a 29 so I wouldn't have enough LR to support a high pod population.
Plus, I don't know if you can get CB pipefish and with WC I'd be afraid of introducing parasites into the tank. I hadn't even thought of that before so I'm glad you asked that question!
