Nice!!!!!! They are so cool! Where did you get them, and how many?

 

Have they started to eat?

[Snoop]

 

I got them from florida colector 5$ each 20$ shipping bought six got seven. They have five doller fish like puffers and filefish

 

[Tigahboy]

very nice, man! You're temptin me to get some dwarf seahorses now!

[Snoop]

Get em these guys are so pimp you really have to see these guys to believe how developed they are for being so small.

 

If you do decide to get them Floridacollector is the way to go.

[Tigahboy]

i think the whole feeding of live food kinda deters me tho. what's your feeding plan?

[Snoop]

Live brine but once you get used to it it is a lot more rewarding to see your fish eat live foods. I am going to try to train mine though.

[Sebea]

Can you keep these in a reef setting?

[Snoop]

No they are to small and will get eaten by corals. You have too remember they are less than a inch big also bristle worms munch on these guys if you have a 1 gallon laying around you could put a pair in their though

[Sebea]

Ok, thanks. These lil' guys are sooo cool!

[calvin]

nice dwarf setup. Did you panacur that macro before putting it in to get rid of hydroids??

[Snoop]

I didnt use panacur ,but I did watch the macro for about 2 months and saw no signs of hydriods although I did catch 2 bristle worms.

[Sebea]

Calvin, can you tell me what panacur means?

 

Snoop - I doubt that zoas can eat them?

It wouldn't be unusual not to see 'droids when you're not regularly feeding the tank. The real test will be in a month or two after you've been feeding bbs everyday. hydroids love bbs and can grow and multiply very quickly when fed them. keep a close eye!! I really hope it works out. I really like the real macros instead of the fake stuff so many dwarf keepers use.

 

 

Calvin, can you tell me what panacur means?

Panacur is a dewormer used to kill hydroids (well, at least that's what SH keepers use it for)

[Sebea]

Where can I get this medication?

 

If you do have an outbreak of hydroids, how would you get rid of them?

[Snoop]

Its mainly for dogs and horses a vet or any place like that zoos might not eat them but probally will stin them heres a 2 sites www.seahorse.org www.syngnathid.org and on seahorse.org make sure you dont just look at forums from the last 30days.

 

 

Also panacur kills every invert in your tank(including hhydriods)

Ive heard that this book explains all you need to know.

[calvin]

did you get your macro from FC too or somewhere else?

[Snoop]

I got it from Fin-addict or zoos at this site.

[calvin]

Abbott's book is very good to have. the dwarf seahorse forum at seahorse.org is also a really good place to get info.

[Snoop]

Yeah I read most of the 62 pages.

[Sebea]

Thanks alot for the help snoop.

[Snoop]

Anytime

[Auryn]
