It's always nice to have a new source of captive bred seahorses, BUT, you need to know what you are recommending. With all due respect for them in...
DEWORMING SEAHORSES Deworming is a nine week process in a cycled hospital/quarantine tank. You will use three different medications, for three...
As well as Dan Underwood at SS, there is pekasponies.com, and seahorsecorral.com where I'm importing 50 dwarfs and 50 erectus from next month once...
I'm not passionate against UV, I just don't use it. Using UV for seahorse tanks is NOT a big help IMO because for the UV to work, the pathogens have...
If the container with the kalk in it is left sealed with no air inside, the kalk will last longer than any holiday you will take in your lifetime....
When I go away there is no one at home but I took the time to check out neighbours to find one I could trust. I've trained him to do the things that...
As dwarfs won't eat frozen products for long, you are left with enriched brine shrimp as the best alternative because it is to hard to grow enough...
Holidays are the same as any days for me when it comes to my seahorses. If I'm away, a fish sitter does all that I would do while I'm away. If I'm...

Yes it can be extremely difficult to keep dwarfs for years as that is more than their lifespan. Now if you are talking keeping the tank going for...
When I cycle a tank, I add ammonium chloride to the tank and check the ammonia level after about 12 hours. If the level isn't up to what I want, I...
Sorry I can't really comment on how that will work as I haven't tried it that way. I much prefer to use ammonium chloride or liquid ammonia (without...
Looks very nice. Have fun with your new charges.
I just realized you spoke of 2 TABLESPOONS of calcium hydroxide. I believe it is TWO TEASPOONS of calcium hydroxide to a gallon, or, 10ml per 3.785...
I drip my limewater in at night a couple of hours after the lights have gone out. I put the bucket on top of the sump and use air line tubing to...
Yes, Kalk, Kalkwasser is calcium hydroxide. Maximum to add is 10ml per 4 litres of water, cover and let sit overnight and siphon off the water...
