Brine shrimp will ingest any food appropriately sized for their digestive system at time of feeding. Over the years, many people have used many...
This is hitting the nail on the head. Excellent comment. I'd like to add also, that even after a long period of time before adding another tankmate,...
I hadn't meant to imply that you were saying it was the only way, just that I didn't understand the use of it by so many (especially a preference for...
I don't know what "75 percent base rock" means, and I know that others use rock to cycle a tank, however, a seahorse, being prone to fatalities due...
I agree. Just start the cycle using ammonium chloride or put some food in the tank to decay and produce the ammonia for the cycle.
Well, you did awfully well for dwarf seahorses that CANNOT long term survive being fed non live foods, and doing it for six years when the lifespan...
As mentioned, dwarfs need a supply of live foods. Because of this, and the fact that dwarfs don't do as much hunting of food that normal sized...

When one sees that seahorses are kept in conditions not recommended by experienced keepers, it means that the odds of success are much much greater...
If your refractometer is a salt water refractometer, and if you use distilled or RO for calibration, the reading will be off at normal reef salinity....
I always quarantine any fish I get in a hospital tank before it goes into the display tank. That way I can watch to be sure everything is ok and...
Colours of any seahorse are mostly determined by their own individual bodies and doesn't have much of anything to do with a progression. Seahorses...
I love seahorse pictures!! I love to keep them even more. As mentioned, you need to do the investigative work first and then be prepared to do the...
