SeaHorse Tank in Main Tank

[vagabond]

To all experts out there,

I need some advices and suggestions. I am thinking of setting up a Sea Horse Tank in a small corner of the Main Tank, something like a float tank but anchored. Is this possible? Can anyone lead me to it?

Thank you.

I don't think such a tank will be big enough for a seahorse regardless of species. You should just set up an individual tank for it.

hmm... how about keeping it directly inthe main tank? wat will be the problems, if i do so?

cant get food fast enuf if u have other fish..

[kelstorm]

let the main tank become a seahorse tank...

[chinmo]

it will be the best if u convert it to a SH tank, u still can have corals and funny inverts.

[ah^siao]

seahorse cannot have fast currents right?

[blacknails]

Yah they don't like too fast currents cause they don't swim like normal fishes....

try not to get sea fan.. SH will cling on to them and the polyps on the sea fan will not be able to extend and will eventually die off.

Anyone tried keeping seahorses with Mandarin Gobies? I don't forsee any conflict, just to be safe.

[vagabond]

gosh, so impossible to keep sea horse one meh? sea horse in main tank, they have trouble to survive. main tank convert to sea horse tank, i dont like the idea of that. think the best way out would be the sea horse to make home in the sump tank then. bo pian.

Hi there,

I have the main tank, a sump tank and a refugium. I put the SH'es in the main tank to socialise with other fishes and invertebrates and exercise (in strong currents) for 3-4 days. They eat whatever they can find. Then I transfer them carefully into the refugium for eat and eat the copepods for the next 3 days. Keep doing this. They are happy and healthy.

Wouldn't that stress the SH...they have to get use to 'new' tank every 3 days or so...

[chinmo]

Hi danny, i agree wif harmony, tink the SH will be very stress! might jus as well leave them in the refugium, no fast moving fish to bully or bother them, if u want to keep other fishes wif them try to get those small and quiet type.
