Remember there's only seahorses, the cards, a mandarin, and a goby in there. Nothing else. I'm going to look around. i thought I saw someone doing this with the parents in the tank.
Parents and other cards would eat them.
Corals might as well.

Well, I might experiment with it but what's another 2g tank when you are raising seahorses. I'll already have good live foods and stuff.
There are no corals in there and I would keep everyone well fed.

BTW hows your bongo shrimp doing?

Feb 12 2011, 01:19 PM
Thanks. Sadly I don't have any more. When I got home from vacation in january I think they were all gone. Now with my LFS gone I don't have a solid 10min away source for asterinas so I am not getting any more Bongo Shrimp for now. I'll find something else cool soon enough I'm sure.

Feb 12 2011, 05:40 PM
Wow that is a sweet sea whip/fan/pen (?) lol
If I wanted one like that it would be a fake one, because the real ones we can buy here are never offered for sale that I know of
The seahorses are nice, changed their camo I see
No more Bongo shrimp?
Sorry for the loss, they died from starvation or do you think the Seahorses ate them?
Something cool? Well I never heard of bongo shrimp until this topic so I can't wait to see what you come up with
