Want to get some SH'es

[zzzggg]

I have a 24g aquapod for a little over a year and im thinking about transfuring my fish from that tank to another one of mine, so i can add some SH'es to it, iv been reading about them for awile and iv probably read every thread on this site, but if anyone could give me some basic spacifics about care that would be very helpful

Thankyou,

Once we have your tank levels and set up it will be a lot easier to start planning for you seahorses

Post some picture of your tank, esp the back. Nano tanks have those grids in the back?? be sure they arent too big, as horses can get sucked in. If they are, you may need to silicone some plastic mesh over them.
You should be able to house a small pair of horses, Kuda, comes, Kellogi. erectus.
Good Luck

I get my water tested evrery 1 to 2 weeks at my fish store, so im not sure on the levels, im going to start getting a kit so i can test it myself so i can get you the levels and not deal with that guy as much, ill take pics of the tank..so you can see the LR and sand for yourself...im stiill not planning on getting SH'es any time soon i just want to start learning about there care really well so when i do they wont die...so i might ask some stupid Q's now and then

..but yah ill get those (PHAmmonia:Nitrite:Nitrate:Salinity levels soon. i no the LS is 30 lbs and LR was 55lbs i think.

 

[zzzggg]

yah it has the grids on back but wayy to thin..ill post some pics when i find out how to

 

[zzzggg]

also...would it be smart to start getting copepods, so they can breed or w/e in my tank

 

[teresaq]

wow, that a lot of live rock, you might need to thin it down a little. Horse will need some swimming room. do you have corals? If so, just be sure they arent stinging kind. Shrooms, zoos and leathers are good. Macro algeas are also great, and make good horse hitches, and places for pods to hang out.

mabie its not that much LR fills prabably 1/3 of my tank

 

[zzzggg]

i have a brown zoo coming tomarrow

 

[rykna]

No wonder you have "Pod-topia"!!! Sorry about the list thing, I hear ya...so dropping that...the tank sounds great. I agree with Teresa about the LR. Maybe you could set up a small tank with the extra rock in it to keep you pod population growing.
As for your questions, I do best when people post a list. So ask away
