    Your not the first to say that, but they were sold as captive bred Kudas.

    As for flow, my 125 has one K2 and two K1's, plus a Mag 9 return pump. Most areas the seahorses swim freely, but there are a few were they need to hold on to rocks. They are surprisingly fast when they want to be, and they can swim in the flow of the powerheads.

    I'm very careful about not letting any uneaten food hit the bottom. I only give them a small amount at a time, and try to give them the larger whole pieces of mysis. The Leopard Wrasse gets pieces that the seahorses miss, and anything else I catch with the siphon tube and feed to the corals. The small pieces/parts that are left over go right to the corals. I find that a little light competition from the wrasse actually helps the seahorses eat better. They know they have to get right on it and eat more and more quickly. ;)
