when everyone has told you you need to get rid of the shark egg and we are people that have been in this a long time, maybe you should listen.

Yea unless your waiting for a disaster, even if this person was a Red Sox fan I'd still encourage to do something very diffrent with that tank. (By the way it's a beautiful tank, I wish I had an in-wall aquarium, you've just gotta change your livestock)

sea horses are not recomended with almost all fish except for pipe fish. This is not because all other fish will pick on/eat your seahorse. It is because they are too slow. They move too slowly to be able to compete for food with other fish. your clown fish will eat all of the food before the seahorse would get any. So he will starve to death

I agree, it is possible however, you just need to make absolutely sure that the seahorse is receiving daily food. By the way, seahorses not only need to eat well, but they also must be fed very nutricious food to make sure it says healthy. It's gonna take more than just brine shrimp to keep them healthy. As I was saying, I would advise not to include any fish with seahorse except pipefish which are very closely related (in the same species) but if you wish to try then so be it.

The kicker with the eel as stated in the last two posts is that he will likely take away food from the seahorse or attack the sea horse by mistake during feeding. I would try to feed the eel first a little bit of food, wait 5 minutes see if the eel is full feed the eel again, and then feed the seahorse. Just an idea-

You should start your own thread with this question, you'd get more responses.

Yes but, you still cannot keep a moray eel and cinnamin clowns with seahorses. Seahorses need a SPECIES ONLY tank which includes seahorses and pipefish. You can take the risk with some fish such as a percula clown or very small passive fish, but even that is a risk. If you REALLY like seahorses, I suggest you trade the ones you have in and get Dwarf seahorses, but for a diffrent tank. Dwarf seahorses can live in tanks as small as 1 gallon, they are much easier then larger seahorses to keep, however, they still need their own species tank. So maybe if you have a 10 or 20 gallon (try to get the tallest possible available tank, they like tallness) you could get maybe 10 or 20! You can even order pregnant ones that way you can raise them yourself. If your interested, let me know and I'll e-mail you the websites where you can buy them. They're VERY cheap, about $4 for one.
