Hey guys! I've been building this seahorse tank for about 8 months now and finally got five juveniles! A couple of the bigger ones were shedding as I got them which I know is normal for juveniles but this one wasn't. Now after being in my tank for 48 hours I saw this spot pop up on its side...
Hey all,
I hope this in the right place. I have put a lot of time into making a video about a male seahorse giving birth and there are some other cool animals in there.
Would appreciate your feedback:
Thank you and have a nice day,

Aquacultured Potbelly Seahorses are enchanting marine creatures that require specialized care, especially when kept as a pair. They thrive in a well-established, calm, and mature saltwater aquarium of at least 30 gallons, with stable temperatures and gentle water flow to prevent stress...
Hi everyone I’m new to this group and new to keeping dwarf seahorses, but not new to salt, aquariums or aquariums at all yesterday I noticed one of my seahorses started to look as if his skin was peeling. It’s been very hard for me to find information online or videos about this. I finally found...
I have sold several seahorses and no longer have a surplus. If I need to sell more in the future, I will start a new thread.
Thank you for your interest.

I unexpectedly became inundated with seahorses when one of my pairs produced several broods. I have several seahorses ready...
The Pot Belly Seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis) was so named for the distinctively large belly on the male of the species. This feature has earned them another personal insult of a common name, the Big Belly Seahorse. Hippocampus is word that has a Greek origin and means something like “curved...
I’m so close to being ready to put dwarf seahorses in my macroalgae tank… the dinos are gone, the nutrients are stable, the macros are grown out, and the tank is pest free… except for the cyanobacteria. I know that chemiclean would get rid of it, but I’m worried that there may be repercussions...
Hello, everyone.
I thought I would start a new thread since the old one got quite long. Some people asked about my tank set-ups and practices for raising so many Erectus seahorse fry to adults. So I am creating a mini-series of YouTube videos that I hope answers your questions. Here is part 1...
So I recently moved all my corals into my larger system finally, and turned my nano reef into a macroalgae tank that I’ll be putting dwarf seahorses in. I finished all the macro scaping last week and this was the final product which I’m really satisfied with
Pretty quickly the macros began...
In a couple months I’ll be moving all of the coral and iverts along with my one fish from my fluval evo 13.5g to my 65g where I have my other fish. I do not plan on moving any rock over from there though as I started with fresh dry rock in my 65g and I want to avoid hitchhikers in that tank...
I’m looking into starting a seahorse tank…I was wondering where you’ve found different and healthy live trees and “hitching posts” to put in their tank.
My question is: What live plants do you suggest and where can I find healthy ones? Thanks!

Can I keep mysis shrimp in my tank with dwarf seahorses? Would it be safe to do so? My idea is that as the mysis shrimp reproduce the babies will float around and be eaten by the sea horses. Does this work? I do still plan on feeding them bbs and just thought it would be a good extra source of...
Hippocampus kuda is one of the world's most common Seahorses. They have proven fairly easy to breed in captivity and as a result, nearly all the specimens you see in your local fish store have been aquacultured. One of the results of this commonality, is that they have been “discovered” and...
The Aquacultured Brazilian Longsnout Seahorse is a captivating and graceful species, widely admired for its delicate body structure, unique swimming style, and vibrant color range from yellows and oranges to deep reds and blacks. This seahorse species is particularly popular among experienced...
