Seahorses

[rujelus22]

Anybody have any advice about seahorses?

That is kind of a broad question. What is that you want to know about them? One of the main things is that they need a tank pretty much to themselves. They will not eat in the prescence of any aggressive eaters. Mandarins and some gobies is the most I would probably put in with seahorses. They need to be fed in small amounts very often, 3-5 times per day.

you could keep them with pipe fish and the reason they have to be feed a lot a few times a day is because they have such short intestines

 

[lion_crazz]

Yes, pipefish are also acceptible tankmates.

I feed my seahorses frozen mysis twice a day, not 3-5 times. Some people only feed once a day.

Mine are twice a day. A mixture of Krill and Mysis typically. Occasionally I will feed live ghost shrimp or brine shrimp.
