Thanks!
Lion_crazz, there are three horses and three fish in this tank: a female green mandarin (fat&happy) a red firefish, and a female lyretail anthias. The tank has been up for 4 months, the lyretail and firefish in ot for 3 months, the little black erectus was the first horse to go in (about 10 weeks now) and the yellow reidis, mandarinfish were added a month ago. It's a 37 gallon tall tank, 30 lbs of live rock, lots of macroalgae for pod production, plus small DIY fuge for same reason. The black horse was my tester, to make sure I could take care of a seahorse before I went out to get the yellow reidis.
If I was to give advice to someone who wanted one, I would say start by reading and researching for at least a month....look online, there are lots of great forums that are serious about seahorses. Google a guy named Pete Giwojna....he has a few books out, runs a monthly article in a couple magazines, and hops on a few forums to answer questions. He just may be one of the gurus of the horse hobby.
They're not that hard to keep. They can even have other tankmates, provided those neighbors are peaceful and shy, or have different diet requirements. I would NOT recommend a lyretail anthias in a horse tank, from my experience. He's far too active. If you must have an anthias, choose a laid-back species, perhaps bartletts or evansi. They're amazing fun to watch!
