Fluval Spec V set up for Dwarf Seahorses
1 Attachment(s)
I just set up this tank about a month and a half ago. I want to put dwarf Seahorses in there. I know I have to add a few more branching stuff in there however, my question is this... Is there tank raised dwarf Seahorses that eat prepared or frozen foods?

Dwarf seahorses only eat live foods
You will be hatching live brine daily to keep them but once you get into the habit it is easy Good luck |
IMO, hatching, enriching and feeding live brine nauplii becomes a real PITA in time.
Probably the number one reason so many quit keeping dwarfs. |
What size is your tank,just looking at the picture you could have about a hundred dwarf seahorses in there

This one has a huge belly! I wonder if he is prego?:D

Oh my gosh, if they start breeding I've heard dwarfs can be like bunny rabbits. Have a gameplan for raising the babies!
Beautiful little guys, congrats. :) |
How cute!!! I love the little black and yellow one!
|
Thanks guys!! I'm hoping they do have babies! Noone here in Orlando FL (that I know of) raises them. It took me 3 months to be able to find some locally and they only had 2. The others, I got from an online seller.

very nice.

I had a tank going for a few months.. Hydroids took over and THEN I ordered panacure. Also suspected nematodes.. You are probably going to need to treat for hydroids. Panacure is the go-to. It will kill off many inverts however and leach from substrate for a LONG time. Available from DanU. I hope I'm allowed to post the site- seahorsesource.com. I got my dwarfs from an online retailer as well, wild caught and relatively cheap. I QT'd everyone in a methylene blue and formalin solution- except my male gave birth in QT and I transferred them right over. So if I did get nematodes it must have come from them. I just started cycling a fluval v as well. Saw this thread and picked one up from craigslist. I was going to do a nano reef after upgrading lighting, but you've got me motivated to try dwarves agains! I'm also in Orlando. What LFS did you go to?

No problem I'll be sure and let you know what I decide! I love the dwarf seahorses except the daily hatching! Just need an efficient setup I suppose. That male definitely looks pregnant! I'll bet you'll have babies sooner than later. Good luck!

He had babies!!!!!! Too many to count because they're too tiny and they hide really well!!! :bounce1:
|
That is very cool, do you plan on raising them?
|
CPBirds407 or others?
What modifications did you make to it? What modifications would you suggest for it. Any tips for using this tank for Dwarf Seahorses? Thank you, Doug |
