psychedelic mandarin goby

[flossy]

Hi everyone I was jsut wondering if psychedelica mandarin gobys and seahorses are compatiable? I have been told both and don't want anyone to get hurt because of me.LOL

They are not going to fight, but mandarins require a big tank 50+ gal per fish with enough live rock to produce pods. This is usually larger than most seahorse systems.

In addition some species of seahorses need cooler water.

This is one of those areas where it's not really wrong to do, but it might not be ideal.

Also wouldn't they be competing for food sources? Not that it still wouldn't be possible just something to keep in mind.

It is possible and quite a few folks do it. The seahorses should be eating frozen mysis so competition for food should be minimal.
