Keeping Seahorses

[Angel Keeper]

I've always wanted a few... But my overseas trips stops me from buying them... They can't go hungry one...

Hmm.. Angel keeper. What about having a hang on refugium that will keep a constant supply of pods?

[Angel Keeper]

Don't think pods can last them for a week...

I think is difficult to keep seahorse without a constant supply of food , big refuge is a must I guess.. I had a whole bunch of them hundreds I think , many died and the rest released into the sea..

But if they are feeding on mysis , then that's great!!!

hi pple ... I tried using yellow plastic chain ... the seahorses changed from black to yellow in like 1hr ..

Wooohooo!! Alright guys so if you dont want your horses to be dark knights you know what to do now. Just put something bright yellow inside and they will become fire horses!

Hi everyone,

i had some free time on my hands away from uni so i decided to do a seahorse feeder cup that we can stick to the wall of our aquarium. I saw a gal on Youtube do it and thought it was very useful. So i made my own. The things you will need. are shown in the picture attached.

I got the small containers for $1.05 from the Valudollar shop near my place and the suction cups are $1.20. That's all you need! Then, i simply heated up an edge of a scissors and bore a hole small enough to fit the suction cup in.Then, i used the hook from the suction cup to secure the suction cup and also act as a perch for the seahorses when they feed from the cup. And there you have it, your very own seahorse feeder. This helps in keeping the tank very clean and the seahorses learn quickly to eat from it.

I will be posting a picture of this feeder in my tank as well as a video of the seahorses feeding from it soon!

Wow nice bro. hmmm do you think us using a deeper container would help solve this issue?

The seahorse will go into the cup to eat??

Maybe someone could demystify some seahorse behavior for me.

I have 2 kuda seahorses.

1 of them sleeps without a clinging on to anything. It seems like he sleeps stick straight floating and bobbing around in the water. When he wakes up he swims around. He swims around alot. His tail is not damaged.

The other seahorse spends most of its time clinging to a rock of zoas in a corner fo the tabk. He is always looking at the ground.

Is this kinda weird. Or just their personalities?

[fishcake]

The tank has got 3 sea fans to cling onto when they wish.

Hi fishcake,

I think its normal if your seahorse doesnt cling onto anything. My seahorse changes the way he sleeps from day to day, clinging, free with his tail straight, on the rock... yeah. But he is wide awake when i on the lights and starts swimming around like normal. SO dont worry, its fine!

Here bro, this pic will grant u some solace.

Oh thanks Hipporider! That's how the 2nd one sleeps. Haha they're such interesting creatures. Full of personality

Is it advisable to keep seahorse with fishes or a separate tank?
