[successnowhere]

Hi Bros,

Can someone please tell me the difference between seahorse & tigertail???

Any pic to tell the difference?

Where can I buy them ???

I have a coral tank, so if I wan to house my seahorse, I shouldn't add in fishes as tank mates right?

A tigertail the common name of one of the many species of sea horse. Can be identified by the grey or brown alternating stripes on the yellow tail, thus the name tigertail. One of the more commonly available sea horse locally, and does quite well in captivity. Do a Google search for the images and more info on care for them.

I saw some of them at Aquamarin at Katong and Jalan Kayu recently, I'm sure they are pretty common at most fish farms too.

Oh I didn't answer your last question about whether they can be kept with fish. They should be ideally kept in a small/medium tank with non aggressive fish, cos they are kinda slow and not very smart. They are very likely to get bullied by faster fishes, and will definitely lose out to them when it comes to feeding time. Mine can stare at his food for a full minute before deciding if it is something edible. Thankfully the other livestock in my tank are mostly bottom feeders.

Corals might not be suitable too depending on what kind of corals you have, cos they like to hook their tails against anything they can grip, your corals might not like being molested all day.

What tankmates are suitable for seahorse?

Tks

I saw CF have some mangroves for sale.

[bugattilambo]

you can go to lck farms or ah beng most probably start with tiger tails or black kudas

tank mates are slow fishes shrimps and stuff but not damsels

cause the sea horses cant react in time when they are in danger also food snatching will also be a prob

Hi bro,

Try buying the TINY Live Shrimps from LCK201 (at 201 Neo Tiew Crescent), saw all

their seahorses eating the shrimps very well. One pack of their tiny live shrimps

cost only $2.

My friends & myself usually buy the shrimps whenever we go there to feed our fishes

and all our fishes just love them.

Recently they have the Brazilian orange & yellow seahorse known as H. riedi.

Try live brine shrimp a.k.a sea monkeys, dunno if it's the same as what bro skyrunner recommended, but it is sold in some fish farms at $2 a pack. AM Jalan Kayu sells it too, not on display, but you gotta ask for it. One $2 pack can last 4 days to a week if kept refrigerated (not frozen).

Don't think the tiny live shrimps that LCK201 selling is the same type (aka sea monkeys).

Anyway will be coming to there this weekend and will take photo of the tiny shrimps from

their seahorse tank and post here.
