minimalist Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I really hope you know how to take care of them. Link to comment
willlgr1 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 um you are aware seahorse don't do well in reef tanks right? especially dwarfs. if you're gonna keep them in there i would keep a very very close eye on them especially around that euphyllia Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Watch out for those hermits. Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Oh please! I have been keeping seahorses since the 70's! LOL!! I used to order them from comic book companies with proofs of purchase. I have a fish hatchery right down the road form me wher eI can get fresh hatched brine , adult brine, and rotifiers ENRICHED. Your preaching to the quire brother. BTW, NO hermits in that seahorse tank only astrea snails. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 What are the tank specs? Size, etc.? Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Choir? Heh. Just watch out for bristleworms if you have live rock in there. They took out my colony. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 My eyes aren't what they used to be, but that appears to be a stuck-on background, not actual corals. Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 one 26w 6.5k quad pc. penguim mini set on the lowest setting with a sponge filter on the intake tube. 5.5g tank, heater. live sand, 4 astrea snails, 7 seahorses and one pipe fish. Tank was set up for two months beforehand awaiting its new arrivals. All levels are zero. Tank temp is 78deg constant. Only the truest of fools would house real coral and dwarf seahorses in the same tank. Only one small piece or tonga branch that I soake din fresh water for 15 minute befor I placed it in ther TWO MONTHS ago. Link to comment

Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Sounds great. Dwarves are tough little guys....And so darn cute! :love: Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Did I say they were real? They are indeed VERY tough little bastages for sure! Easy to keep compared to erectus. "Choir" Never said I could spell either!! LOL!! Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 BTW ? Can you find the pipe fish in the second picture? HINT: He is green with white bands. He is also in the 1st pic. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I think I see his tail in the first pic. No hope for the second one, lol! (Where are my reading glasses?! ) Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well, I saw that scolymia and thought, "Oh no!", but looked closer, and, heh...Realized it wasn't real. Saw my cynaria eat a snail, and I think a dwarf isn't much quicker! Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Like I said man, only a true moron would house dwarf seahorse and coral in the same tank! LOL!! The poor little boogers would latch on to rest and become lunch!!! I think that back ground looks nice though. Makes for more depth having pictures I think? BTW the pipe fish is in the lower left side of that bunch of macro in the 2nd pic. you can just see his tail and thats all! LOL!! MASTERS of camoflauge! Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Definitely. Even larger horses are questionable with corals, but dwarves, no question! I like the background. I'm still not sure if I see that pipefish in the second pic. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I actually saw that...But it's another horsey. Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Told ya! LOL!!! MASTERS of camoflauge! Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Wow... I STILL can't see it! (That first one..Dang!) Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Here is his head! LOL!!! Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Ohh, he's adorable! :love: Where'd you get these from? (Don't need a name, just curious as to whether it was an online store, LFS, diver, or someone who specializes in breeding/catching dwarves and similar.) Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 No I have no problem giving you his name.
