|  Anyone keep seahorses? Does anyone here keep seahorses? I got my new issue of aquarium fish magazine today and they have a nice article in there about keeping and breeding seahorses. It doesnt sound to complicated.....but I think I'll stick to my bettas! I had a saltwater tank once....and it ruined my wall! At the back of the tank where there were openings for the filters etc., The saltwater ruined the wall behind the tank! I dont think I will be trying that again....unless I put plexi glass or something on the wall behind it for protection!

| Re: Anyone keep seahorses? I've heard that seahorses are some of the hardest marine fish to keep. I don't know though i've never kept them. ;D You say it sounds easy to breed them?? What's it say about them? ;D

| Re: Anyone keep seahorses? well, I dont have the article right here in front of me....but it doesnt make it sound to hard. Just gotta have the right water conditions and a tall tank...not a wide one. Geez Ryan! I cant believe you dont get aquarium fish magazine! A years subscription is only like 14 bucks I think.

| Re: Anyone keep seahorses? I'll send you a message about the magazine. I don't know I just heard they were for advanced aquarist. Maybe breeding them is easier than keeping them ;D

| Re: Anyone keep seahorses? [quote author=ryanp14 link=board=saltwater&num=989681069&start=0 #3 date=05/12/01 at 09:12:41] I'll send you a message about the magazine. I don't know I just heard they were for advanced aquarist. Maybe breeding them is easier than keeping them ;D [/quote] They are incredibly hard to keep. First of all they need an appropriate species tank, can't keep anything else with them. In the tank you need a seaweed like turtle grass because they attach themselves to it. They do not go after food, they eat a little bit of food very often as the food floats by, and most of them only take to live foods. They are EXTREMELY sensitive to water conditions, not only dirty water, but when you do a water change as well, if you don't condition the water well enough, the seahorses will die. |
