My seahorse is sick, his tail is white. I found one seahorse dead this morning who had similar symptoms. I don't have a quarantine tank. Another seahorse is alive, I hope he doesnt get infected!! :-( really sad right now.

I read somewhere that dragonettes don't even have to be taught to eat nutramar ova, but mines was uninterested by the pile of nutramar ova I laid in front of it. From what I know, dragonettes are harder to care for. Sometimes it's probably just that individual fish and it's prior experience of...

So far little black seahorses and one dragon faced pipefish have survived this tank. Regular fish have come and perished. My ammonia is zero and nitrate usually less than 10ppm. Keeping it dedicated to seahorse now.

I won't be getting anymore fish. I don't know how old those seahorses are, but I don't think they will get much larger.

I've always been fascinated by seahorses and never saw any chance of ever having them as pets. My bf is an expert with his tank and I mentioned it to him and he explained that they are hard to care for (although he has not had any experiences). I still pursued the idea of a nano tank with...

Thanks! I'm going to try the garlic and see if the mysid shrimp will fit through their snouts this time. I have a mandarin goby, he's harder to care for than the seahorses or pipefish!

I soak hikari enriched brine shrimp with two drops of Selco before I feed them to the seahorse. How do I prepare the garlic? Do you juice it and soak the shrimp? Do seahorses enjoy the taste? My seahorses are growing though... The tank is in my bedroom and I'm not sure how my boyfriend will...

I bought the tank used. It took 2 weeks to mature the tank and I added a chromis and fire fish initially. Then a dragon faced pipe fish and a banded pipefish. The pipefish did very well, the green chromis & fire fish died in a month. Had just the pipefish for a while, and when my water...

Trying to train my seahorses to eat from a feeding station. So far they have sampled one each, but just kept staring and now they are just playing around in the bowl LOL. Any tips?

I spent 1hr googling last night and discovered its a tunicates, family of sea squirts. Not sure if they are good or bad for the tank?

Found this in my boyfriends 80g reef tank. It's outside this small cave where the scissor tail & purple fish hide. It has an EYE! Here's another picture where I shined light on it. My bf says its a mysterious sponge? It's creepy, where did it come from? It seriously grew out of the blue.

Lost control of it's swimming. White thing on its tail. Does anyone know what causes that?

They seem okay right now. I am not sure whether they were wild caught or captive bred. I started off feeding them with live brine shrimp and frozen newly hatched brine. They are eating well. I will probably try and feed them frozen mysid shirmp after. I am not sure how old they are. I got them...

My new pet seahorses just arrived. I think they are juveniles, but not sure which species. I am debating between kuda or erectus. I have them in a 12g JBJ NanoCube. One banded pipefish, one dragonface pipefish, one peppermint shrimp, 5 turbos and 6 small hermit crabs.

I currently have a dragonface and banded pipefish. The tank temp ranges from 77-80 degrees depending on the current room temperature. I know that seahorses prefer colder waters, but I was also told that tank bred seahorses may prefer it warmer? Does anyone knows the appropriate temperature to...

I think they are eating, they look healthy. My fire fish is eating now too, I think I use to feed them too early, and I didn't soak its food. But now I see everyone eat. Except I lost peppermint shirmp jr. I thought he has died, so I bought a bigger one to replace him, but discovered him when I...

Pictures of my tank as I am building.

This is my second week having fish in my 12g NanoCube. I currently have: 1 firefish, 2 peppermint shirmps, 8 hermit crabs, banded (ringed) pipefish, dragonface pipefish. My firefish has been acting funny, rubbing its body on the substrate. I am uncertain of whether either pipefish are even...

Just added two pipefish this evening. Banded and dragon-face/network pipefish. I have found a new love for them. Waiting an extra week to get a pair of black seahorses. As I thought I had lost the peppermint shrimp, I bought a replacement and discovered two swimming around now. I can't wait to...
