    I have two black seahorses. They are eating live brine mixed with frozen. They are a pair. Any good ideas for some more tankmates. Will be moving up to a 29 gallon in the future.......:confused:

    artificial plants will not keep the seahorse alive very long. the tank needs LOTS of macro algae. places for them to hunt for live foods.

    is the small rock live rock?.

    seahorses do best when we try to replicate their natural environment.
    as far as adding any fish... i would wait till you get a larger tank. 10g for 2 seahorse is pushing it.

    how soon are you upgrading?
