Seahorse Tank Revival!!

[SeahorseKeeper]

Finally, I am getting closer to getting my seahorse tank back!! In June, I rehomed my seahorses. I was terrified that I would murder them in my move so I found them a home. Now, I have upgraded slightly to a 40 gallon tank. The tank is almost ready for seahorses. The tank is still cloudy from rearranging the rock. I will be sure to post pics up soon. I just can't wait to have my seahorses back!!!

Exciting! What species are you looking at getting?

Hooray Krista! I am so excited to see your tank and ponies.

Exciting! What species are you looking at getting?

Most likely h. erectus.

Hooray Krista! I am so excited to see your tank and ponies.

Glad to have you following along.

Here is a not so lovely pic:

O boy o boy! That looks like a cycled tank with even a feeder all ready. So when does it look like the seahorses will arrive?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

I'm not so sure when I will add them. I am waiting for them to come in stock. I am also still debating on whether I should do kuda or erectus. Decisions...decisions.

 

[vlangel]

How are kudas different from erectus? I don't know much about the different species. I chose erectus because of them being the hardiest.

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

There is not much difference. Kudas can be trickier to get to eat, but I will be getting captive bred so that won't be an issue. Kudas also have trouble taking to the feeding dish.


In preparation for the seahorses, I have stocked my freezer with mysis. So really, the only thing I need is seahorses.

 

[vlangel]

I haven't got my erectus to eat from their dish yet either. I need to work at teaching them more earnestly. They do follow my turkey baster so it probably won't be hard to do.
So kuda look like erectus more or less?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

The kuda have smoother bodies and don't vary in color quite as much as the erectus. They also get bigger.

 

[vlangel]

How many ponies do you have in mind? I guess 3 kudas in a 40g isn't unreasonable, even if they are a little bigger is it? I can't remember, is your tank a AIO or does it have a sump?

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the ponies in their new home! 1smile1

How is your new tank set up? lights? filtration?

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

[vlangel]

I can't wait to see them. So what specie did you settle on?

Congrats Krista!
Can't wait to see.

Such suspense! Which species did you decide on? How many?
I can't wait to set up my first seahorse tank!
