    Do you think a false perc clown will do well in 73 degree water?

    It might, but why keep it that low?

    I was going to try letting him in the sea horse tank after they are settled in. This was the last kink I needed to work out.

    You do not want a clown in with seahorses. It would severely limit their feeding.

    Thats what Iv heard but I was gonna give it a try tell this kink. Dont think its worth getting a clown acclimated to that kind of extreme just to send him back to the 78 degree reef. Too cruel for the clown. thanks for helping me nix that one.

    Your kink is not the temperature but rather compatability. Seahorses are an extremely sensitive and calm species. Any fish that is active can stress the seahorse to the point of death. A clown is an extremely active fish. Clownfish are also known for being aggressive towards docile fish. If the active lifestyle of the clownfish doesn't kill your seahorses, then the pecking and chasing by the clownfish will. I suggest looking up the compatability of seahorses. Seahorses are very difficult to keep please do your research before you make any decisions and when you find information double and triple check it with reliable sources.
