This is from another forum, had never seen anything like it:





They're not mine pityfully

Somehow that tank would have to be setup so it wasnt safe for some of the animals I think, there is just not very many ways to make everything pictures happy and healthy.

Maybe it is the food?). Seahorses have a level of intelligence that makes you feel for them more than most fish I think. Glad to see such a great environment for them. Nice tank.

i am in Fl and am totally willing to learn shrimping

Thanks Juanell!

I am not sure what my GPH is blurp. It is the RSM with just one powerhead running if that helps.

During the first week, I feed bbs. rotifers should be ok for almost any species. What are you keeping?
Those are some nice pics of those ponies, if you know that person, tell them that tang needs to come out though.

dude your amazing to get your SH to mate, i've read a ton on it and the larger types tend to be harder to mate, here in Fl the common type you find are those really small ones "oober cheap" you can go to the keys and net them if you don't get caught leaving the reef. since i'm FW i have not done any reef scavaging "i know taboo subject" sorry, this is so cool to read about real breeding not theory

you have a really blue thumb

[juanell]

new Q din one of your last pics you have lil brown dots at the top of the tank, are those brine shring eggs? are they decaped or hard shell, i read up on how to decap, if you need that info i'll find the link for you

[SeahorseBT]

Thanks for the kind words. I do not decapp. It is not necessary in my opinion...

[juanell]

so they eat hard eggs? or do you hatch Artemia in with them? again i'm noob

[SeahorseBT]

no, it hatch them in a separate container.

I love the feeding dish you had in there. I tried something simmilar for the Mandarins but the hermit crabs kept getting stuck in there.

[SeahorseBT]

Thanks! Have you tried elevating it? Then the hermits shouldn't be able to get in. I have to update this thread, I re-aquascaped. I'll post pics tomorrow.

[SeahorseBT]

Here are some new pics as promised. The plants are a little "dusty" because I just pulled out all the caulerpa and a lot of red grape.

[D3monic]

Looks really nice. That would be a really good Mandarin tank. Its nice and tall which is good for spawning and the feeding dish would probably work out good.

[SeahorseBT]

Cool, thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll have to train two to eat frozen foods and thne I would love to give breeding a try...
