[bronco300]

lol, no sorry, i'll have to...have some algae that i would be embarrassed to show,lol

 

[airforceman]

This all looks very interesting. What size tank is the DT?

 

[bronco300]

hello..it is just a 10 gallon tank, which is max for these little guys, most recommend a 5 gallon or so.

 

[airforceman]

do you have an e-mail that i good get advice from you? I'm setting up a 12 gal. right now that is going to be a reef. I would think it would be awesome to do what you are doing.

 

[bronco300]

you are welcome to email me at bronco300 @gmail. com--reef tanks can be very difficult to do with dwarf seahorses....there are a lot more predators to these small guys
it takes a LOT of dedication to keep these guys as well...they have to be fed twice per day, and it has to be LIVE brine shrimp.

 

[airforceman]

oh yes of course i kno that i'm just saying i'm gonna set-up my 12 then get a 5-10 gal. tank for the seahorses lol

 

[bronco300]

ahhh ok ok, great! email me whenever ya want or ask your questions here and i'll do what i can to help!

 

[airforceman]

are you using LR? it doesn't look like it.

 

[bronco300]

i do...it wasnt technically live, but it is live rock...but i boiled EVERYTHING i put in there minus the dead sand(tropic eden brand) to make sure there was no contamination of hydroids etc

 

[airforceman]

alright cool. The day i'm done with gettin all of my 12 gal. stuff situated and normal i'm headed straight for the seahorses

 

[bronco300]

lol, awesome...do as much research as you can before settling on these though...they can be quite tough at first...but very easy after everything gets settled

 

[airforceman]

lots of reading for sure. I've kinda learned to like researching as that is one MAJOR part of this hobby lol. What are you doing with all of the seahorses you breed?

 

[bronco300]

mine have not had babies in a while now...but you can get around 50 in a 10 gallon tank

 

[airforceman]

oh cool! do they breed frequently or rarely?

 

[bronco300]

its not rare thats for sure, but im not sure what the cycle is

 

[airforceman]

cool this sound like fun. don't really have to worry about overstocking then lol

 

[bronco300]

lol, nope, you dont, they are very small, but great to watch!

 

[doahh]

Hey Bronco.... I have a 2 gallon tank that I want to Dwarf Seahorses and was wondering what temp do you keep the water at?
Where can I actually BUY these guys?
And if the adults only get 1.5" long than those babies are TINY!

 

[bronco300]

i believe my temp is around 76 or so...they like cooler temps...the babies are very tiny and with the tail curled probably fit on a dime or so...shoot me an email-- bronco300 @gmail .com
