Flower, just think of the fry as food for your tank. lol just like shrimp fry. lol
The green banded that spanko posted is also safe, per another site. I really like those, I may look for a pair of them for my tank. hahahaha

Hey ask SWF to get them ..they sound like the perfect fish for a seahorse tank. You rock Spanko!
Here is what info I found:
The Greenbanded Goby makes an excellent "Nano Fish" as it does very well in smaller aquariums that contain other peaceful reef species. They will spend much of their time scooting from rock to rock all around the aquarium, while looking for small meaty prey living in caves and crevices within the live rock. There coloration can be described by nothing less than vibrant, as they have vivid green with thin iridescent green bands running vertically down the body along with a white head with a brownish red band runs across each red eye. Greenbanded Gobies do so well within the marine aquarium environment that they are even known to frequently spawn in a proper setup.
Greenbanded Gobies are a very peaceful fish species that is best kept with other very peaceful species. It is recommended that if kept with other Goby specimens, that the Greenbanded Goby be added first so that it can establish territory before other more aggressive Gobies are added to the aquarium. The Greenbanded Goby should be housed in a 10 gallon or larger aquarium containing a sandy substrate and plenty of live rock. This species will spend much of its time hovering around the live rock and similar decor. Greenbanded Gobies can be kept in small groups of 3 or more or as mated pairs. It is best not to keep this species with other more aggressive species like hawkfish, sand perches or aggressive dottybacks that will compete to aggressively with the Greenbanded for territory and food.
Greenbanded Gobies should be fed a varied diet consisting of live and frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, chopped fresh seafoods, and frozen food preparations for carnivores. They should be fed twice a day as much as they will consume within a few minutes.

Can I post over here? Wow, my eyes are sore from rolling. ;)
Panda gobies are rather boring. Small and rather reclusive. Pretty yes, exciting no. They are small enough that I keep them in a few of my dwarf tanks although I don't have any at the moment (or maybe I do and they are hiding.......hhhmmm).
Those greenbanded are sharp!

Everyone wanted to help when I got my first tank, and I let them in the beginning. But I couldn't take it for long! I stood in front of them and said "hey! Get your own hobby for gods sake, and let me have mine! After all, I was the one dishing out the money for all of it.
I didn't want to be selfish about it, but I waited A LOT of years to have a hobby, I was too busy raising 3 kids to have an interest outside of them. I've done my job, the youngest will be 18 on the 25 of this month. And I decided that it's MY TURN to think about me :evil:
(in a few, however pricy, ways lol)
It's going to be a long weekend waiting for the new tank to get here on Monday...
Take your time with the pics. I hate being rushed with that, I always want it to look better than it is before posting pics :laughing: mind you, it almost never works out that way.
Such is life... Mine anyway :laughing:
I hope your sea horse tank works out well for you :)
