Baby???

Tank was mature enough for mandarin. Its not food. May have been bacterial or with gasping, possible ammonia or nitrate spike

There was no spike in nitrate after the death or just now in the morning, I did do a 10% water change to help clean stuff up!

Nitrate is approximately.05-.10 ppm. I did a water change and brought salinity down to 1.022.
would it be to quick to add another fish by this Tuesday? All parameters are good and seahorses are still eating.

Sooooooooo I heard about something called hydroids. No idea if I'm saying right but I see these little octopus looking bugs in my tank..... Very hard to see in pic but I tried.
Thanks

The only time they pose a threat is when they take residence in larval fish operations or seahorse tanks. Uh oh…

Thoughts on origin of these? If I remember correctly, OP has live rock in tank so maybe a hitchhiker from that?

Sorry to hear about the ruby dragonet too haigyfish! I was waiting to see what kind of success you had with him in there. I would love to add a fish in with my seahorses, but the babies are so small I can't imagine any fish in there that would not see them as food!

Surprisingly enough the 6 or so days it was in there it never once tried eating a baby. All babies actually died after his death. I have no idea where the babies went but I’m down to 2/5.

I plan to add a mandarin goby this next couple of weeks

How is it going? And survivors?

I got a new pair of seahorses and they birthed 6 babies. Currently all 6 are alive and they have been alive for 17 days. They’ve doubled in size.

Did you wind up with a new dragonet?

I actually switched over to a spotted mandaringoby. He’s been around for over a month!
He’s awesome
