Sea Horse being silly

I just finished feeding Valiant and Romeo.I left the empty dish and food dropper on the tank and went to put my daughter to bed. When I returned to the tank to finish cleaning up dinner, I saw one of the droppers floating in back of the tank. Either out of curiousity of looking for any leftovers I am not sure, but there was Romeo with his snout stuck up in the dropper! He finally let go after I pulled the dropper out of the tank.I didn't get a chance to get a pic, but it sure was cute! :happyfish

AWWW... I can't wait till I can get seahorses but I want my 125g up and running first. Also You should get a seperate tank for the percs and make the whole thing for the horses.

not sure... i think either thorny, or black seahorses.
2 of them were a lighter offwhite color, and 1 was black. they were so cool looking, he has them in a 29 biocube with a bunch of red gorgonians, and i wanted them soooo bad, but i don't have 57$, and i've heard they are relativly hard to keep.

Captive bred seahorses that are eating frozen mysis are much easier than wild caught seahorses.

30 x-tra high...
Seahorse keeping is a whole new territory and requires a whole new mind set as far as research, set up, and maintenance. This is not something to dive into and hope it works. Please, if you're considering setting something like this up, do the research.

No dought.....the little guy sure has come out of his shell!!! I took down the devider in the 90 gallong today and put the percs in the 10 gallon on my desk.
Valiant being the gallant knight that he is, swam boldly into the new space. Checked out the whole new side of the tank. Romeo followed about 45 minutes latter.
I can't wait to get the new pair of girls for them!!!!!

I would post more pics, but currently our digital camera is busted.
We have to get a new card!!!!

I enjoy reading your seahorse adventures. I would love to have one but in the distant future when I have been in this hobby for a longer period of time. I will keep reading your posts for education. Thanks!

I'm looking to set up a tiny nano, would dwarf seahorses/ pipefish be good for a 9ish gallon tank by any chance? just a quick question.

Okay someone else needs to take a turn....I already got my hands slapped!!! I had this up about 2 weeks ago
Quoted from Dr. Seuss's "Hortons Hears a Who"
"This cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their of their country!" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open you mouth, lad! For every voice counts
