What do seahorses eat? How to feed seahorses in aquariums! Original post: https://seahorsewhisperer.com/what-do-seahorses-eat/ Simple enough question right? Or could nutrition be one of the reasons that people fail to keep them healthy in captivity? Seahorses might be fish, but they do not...

I see a lot of confusion about flow, so I thought I'd share a few of my articles from my own website here on reef2reef. Here's a link to the original: https://seahorsewhisperer.com/flow-in-a-seahorse-tank/ “Flow is one of the most important, and yet least understood aspects of a seahorse tank”...

I just got back home after a few months of travel. Special thanks to Tank It Easy for caring for the little guys while I was gone. Here is the video chronicling the reunion!

Thanks to captive breeding efforts, hobbyists can keep seahorses in aquariums much more easily these days. We have it so much easier than keepers 10 years ago, who had to struggle through "figuring things out", work with wild caught seahorses and learn mostly through mistakes. Today, we can...

Let me start out by saying I AM NOT PLANNING ON DOING THIS... just thought I'd like to hear why this isn't done:) I'm guessing temperature is the main factor in this. Being that seahorses like it cooler than what reef tanks are normally kept at. But what about some of the ponies that come from...

I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with two mated Occelaris clownfish and one extremely shy firefish goby, and it's been my dream to have a seahorse in there ever since. I'm getting some caulerpa prolifera Macro algae to put in there next week. I think I will have to feed a lot in order to give the...

I'm almost finished with the third and fourth videos in my macro series which will deal with the categories of macros and how their needs vary! Here's the playlist: you can click notifications to see the videos as soon as I upload :)

Hi all, First time post. I have a Nano Marine tank with 3 corals, a Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp and a Black Common Seahorse. For about 2 weeks now, the seahorse has had a visible disease/issue with his eye, and it does not appear to be getting better. I have attached photos for a visual of...

What benefits can macro algae provide to a reef? How do you outcompete nuisance algae with macros? What's the difference between micro and macro algae? What's the best lighting for specific species of algae? What signs will tell you that caulerpa is about to go sexual or that different algae...

Hi guys, Ive got these seahorses through a friend and I cant really tell if these are: - 1 male and 1 female (erectus/lined). - Or 1 Ingen and 1 reidi (not necessarily male and female). I've attached 2 photos of each. The overall body shape and specially their abdomens are very different. Does...

Hey there R2R! My name is Lisa. I have been keeping seahorses for almost 2 years now and this will be my 4th time setting up a tank for them. I know, your thinking a tank every 6 months? Well, yes and no. A little backround. My father, a long time reef keeper, gifted me his 75g full setup when...

Anyone keep a wrasse with their ponies? I know it is recommended not to, but I'm really having trouble finding another fish as beneficial as a wrasse when it comes to parasites. I'd like to know who has kept them with success in a seahorse tank. Or perhaps a royal grama?

Hey everyone! Just to warn you, I had not yet invested in a microphone when taping this video o_O. I felt the information was valuable enough to post anyways, but please excuse the background noise (everything from cycling k1 to tank flow....ugh). My goal in these videos is to provide good...

My parents have been long time saltwater fans and we had a tank throughout my childhood back in the early 90’s. They haven’t had one in a many years, while I’ve gotten deeper and deeper into the hobby. They’ve finally gotten the chance to build their dream home, and they wanted to put a massive...

I need to learn how to blog here directly, but for anyone interested.....here's my scrubber set up and the reasons I love it! https://seahorsewhisperer.wordpress.com/2017/06/22/mother-nature-knows-best-seahorses-and-algae-go-hand-in-hand-algae-scrubbers-for-the-win/

This write up is about the difference in my experiences buying from a breeder and buying from a vendor. I'll be focusing on documented information in upcoming blogs...

I've been on r2r for some time, but don't post much. When I stopped in recently, I was thrilled to see a seahorse section, and some great articles with updated information about ponies! I recently started a youtube channel to help newcomers also. I'm not a professional, but a lot of...

After years of telling my husband that we should have seahorses, he has finally agreed to help me set up a seahorse tank! We currently have a 125 gallon reef tank, a 29 gallon biocube, and a 15 gallon frag tank. Back in the fall we purchased a 65 gallon tank with stand, and have slowly been...

Today I noticed that my seahorse has a bit of sea lettuce growing on his head not too far from his gills. Does this require my intervention to remove it, or should I let him deal with it on his own?

I recently had to rebuild my tank due to leached heavy metals, so I used all new rockwork. That's a lot of aquascaping, so I decided to try the new AquaScape Fix by Fauna Marin. I have absolutely fallen in love with it, so I decided to do a quick video on how I use it. Note that it has no...

*Projected Seahorses by March-ish 2017 I have put together a tank for a pair of Seahorses. Dimensions: 18x18x30h Capacity: ~42 US Gallons Glass: 1/2" annealed I was planning on using a canister filter(Fluval 306) I had acquired as part of a package deal of equipment, but now I'm thinking that...
