Can I keep dwarf seahorses?

Posted on January 16, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I want to get 2 in a 2 gallon tank(yes a 2 gallon because when I was doing reasearch it said that in larger tanks it is hard for them to find their food)and yes I know how much work it takes to keep seahorses and in a small tank I have to keep up with ammonia, nitrate, and nitite levels(including that I can’t use live rock to cycle my aquarium) and I also know they are very fussy eaters including the ones that are wild caught and please I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t be mean to me I already had a stressful day. Also they will have this in the tank:
Decor
1 Littlest Pet Shop Aquarium Figures
1 Top Fin® Pink Plastic Plant Variety Pack
food
1 8oz. bag with live adult brine shrimp(which i will keep in a 1-1.5 gallon tank)also the seahorses will have a turbo snail as a tankmate to keep the 2 gallon
here is the 2 gallon tank they will be in: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752291
I will be using this site to help me with dwarves http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/dwarfguide/dwarfguide.shtml
hello?these are dwarf seahorses there are critters in live rock which harm them and the tankmates you suggestes will also harm/kill my dwarf seahorses

What was the childrens toy called?

Do you remember, you could order it out of the back of magazines. It was a tiny little aquarium, and you could grow your own little seahorses, although I think they were actually shrimp or brine. I can’t remember the name of it, and my husband just thinks I am crazy! Help

Can you keep erectus with miniature seahorses?

Posted on December 14, 2009 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a portioned off “refugium” in my 55 gallon tank, with all sorts of macro-algae, rotifers, microorganisms, etc in it.

Since both seahorses come from the same habitat (the gulf of Mexico) can I keep them together?

Miniatures would be wild caught and erectus would be from captive bred sources…. or is it more of an issue/problem to mix captive bred with wild caught than to mix the species?

PS: I have a great brine shrimp hatchery system going for the miniatures, and the petstore with frozen food for the erectus is just up the street :-)
