noogie Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Anybody think I have a chance with tank????? Sure just keep on top of water quality and stay with the bbs production and all will be good. I know it just got going, but it looks like it could use a good asthetic make over. Might try painting the background black or finding a dark blue back drop. I really think that black velvet makes any tank look twenty times better, but that's just my opinon. Really dude, good luck. Horsies are neat fishes. I just reallized that you have black sand, a black back drop and black sand are best friends. Link to comment
Blind Tree Frog Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Anybody think I have a chance with tank????? I'm thinking of stealing part of your idea, so yes, yes I think you do. (I've wanted a seahorse tank for a bit. I just realised when I read your thread that what I'm thinking of doing would be perfect for sea horses) With that in mind, May I ask for you permission to make a seahorse tank if I do decide to enter? I'd hate for you to think that i'm just trying to steal your ideas and get you to resent me for it. Cus well, I am kind of stealing the live stock idea, but I'd like to be able to bounce questions off of you if I run into problems. Link to comment
Snoop Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Sure I would love to have another horse tank but im no pro either although I have done about 20hours worth of research. Link to comment

Snoop Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hippocampus bargibanti hip-oh-CAMP-us bar-gi-BANT-eye (Whitley 1970) The Pygmy Seahorse The Pygmy Seahorse, Hippocampus bargibanti, is a tiny species growing in height to only 2cm. Adults are found in the tropical waters of the West Pacific, Coral Sea, Australia, Southern Japan, Indonesia and Bali, where they live in groups on Gorgonian corals. This highly specialised species has adapted to live on various soft corals on which it feeds. H. bargibanti takes on the appearance and looks almost like the coral on which he lives, with wart like growths around the head and body spines, colours can vary to match the colour and shape of the host coral (often grey or purple with pink warts or yellow with orange warts). He is also easily identified by his extremely short snout. This species is not recommended for the aquarium until more about its life cycle is understood. The most common corals they live on are Muricella plectana and Muricella paraplectana. From seahorse.org Link to comment

Blind Tree Frog Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 That's a hell of a lot cheaper then I've been seeing horses locally, though I can't say if they are the same breeds that I've been seeing. Interesting. They appear to be wild caught. Are you concerned about converting them to frozen or do you plan on feeding them live food? Link to comment
sdbeazley Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Alot of people on RC and SHDO use florida collector, he seems pretty cheap and reasonable. Link to comment
Snoop Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 I plan on feeding live brine but might try to convert in the process. Link to comment
