Rehype Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 You say you have one seahorse but you named two different types of seahorses. (Hippocampus Erectus) and (Hippocampus Reidi) are two seperate species.And it looks like you have H. Reidi Thanks for pointing that out fish I actually mistyped that part. What I meant to say was my choice was between hippocampus erectus and hippocampus reidi. I ended up going with hippocampus reidi. Very nice horse, must be awesome to watch. Thanks Gerber. They are defintely one of the most fascinating inhabitants i've ever owned. Link to comment

divecj5 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I was just getting ready to ask if you're still holding out on us This is fantastic man!! What a beautiful specimen. Glad to hear that it's eating and soaking in it's new environment. You'll have to grab a video sometime in the future as I'm sure it's a joy to watch swinging, swaying, and gliding through the tank. I'll shoot you a PM during the weekend about some digi frags. -Adam Link to comment

~LadyBug~ Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 amazing tank, i can't believe i haven't seen it before! how many gallons is it do you think? it looks huge! Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks alot Anna. It's only 8.5 gallons Link to comment
~LadyBug~ Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks alot Anna. It's only 8.5 gallons wow! i from the pictures it looks like at least 20-30 gallons i'm thinking about trying a SH in my 6 gallon jbj...any thoughts, since you've got one in a smaller tank also? Link to comment
Rehype Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks im glad it has such a deceptive appearance Get an ORA seahorse thats already eating mysis. I already have a canister filter in place thats meant for a 50 gallon tank and i plan to plumb a 18 gallon sump to this tank shortly so ive never really had an issue with water quality but to keep a horse in small tank you have to be very diligent in your water changes and replace carbon regularly. Since you are feeding such a small tank 1-2 feedings a day maintaining healthy water parameters may be a challenge. BTW I love your quotes...some of my faves Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Agreed, such a pretty pony. Link to comment
