Hi,
I know the rule is to not mix the seahorse species because the bacteria on one, may not be immune to the bacteria of the other. I had Erectus horses in my 56g before they died when I flushed my Aquaripure line into the sump (hard lesson learned). I replaced the Erectus with Kuda horses around a year and a half ago...with no problems. I didn't reset the tank or anything, just added the new batch of horses once the tank balanced back out. I'm wondering if I could mix the species since kind of technically they have been exposed to Erectus seahorse cooties.
Thoughts?????
