    Today i got a seahorse and my damselfish doesnt seem to like him very much.
    he ended up attacking it with his fin. the seahorse didnt seem to mind too much, will this be a big problem?

    Damsels and seahorses does not seem like a good mix to me.

    Nano doesnt like damsels, he's convinced that theyre EVIL:evil: lol, but i totally agree. Seahorses are way too beautiful and delicate to have a mean lil Damsel pick on it. I'd get rid of the damsel.

    PS-does anyone know if its ok to have seahorses with fish? :confused:

    as long as the fish does not compete with its source of food, although ive never kept them so your guess is as good as mine :)

    Just wondering, I'd love to have a seahorse or two, but as you already know I've got my damsels. I wouldn't want to hurt them if they made the wrong move:fish::rifle:
