Hi,
I purchased two emperor seahorses (male and female) approximately 3 weeks ago. I have been cycling a 50L tank for approx 3 months, have an Eheim filter and Miniskim protein filter. Temp is 25deg and salinity is perfect. Nitrate and ammonia are at 0 and I have 2 acro gobies in the tank with them. When I first got the seahorses they were swimming around and looked happy but over the past few days the female has lost her bright yellow colour and gone to a faded brown and is hanging upside down a lot or sitting on the bottom of the tank a lot more. She was much more active than the male for the first few weeks and they seemed happy together in the tank, swimming around together and playing. I have been feeding them a mixed diet of live feed and frozen Mysis shrimp. Is there somethibg else I should be dojng to keep her healthy. Does anyone have any ideas about whats wrong with her?
