    Seahorses are best kept in species only tanks, even though occasionally it works having certain other fish with them. Every different species in their tank adds to the possibility of pathogen transfer of pathogens they haven't grown up with, leading to deaths from that number two cause of seahorse losses.
    Number one is bacterial infections.

    Haven't been outside of Canada for two years now, so my underwater camera has been getting a little dusty... thought I'd put it to use today! It has a snap on macro lens, which creates the circular effect seen in the pictures.
