Here is my latest birthing. Went to feed this morning and he was popping them out. I'm now at 40+ babies

That is great!! Would love to do seahorses one day. How big of a tank do you have for your dwarfs?

This tank is an Aqueon 8 ga. I ended up pulling the pump out of the sump and just dropped a sponge filter in. The current was just too much for DSH. Working great now but will need another tank if they don't stop having babies! Lol

Good long dwarf tank. Cold you post detail about your setup and your regimen for feeding and maintenance. The wife wants sea horses and I was thinking about going with dwarves but wasn't sure if it would be too much work.

They are a lot more work than my 3 other tanks. That was an Aqueon Evolve 8 and WAY to big so back in the 2 gallon with a sponge filter they went. I do 75% WC daily and feed Artemia 2x's a day. I think I will try to find a 3 gallon hex tank for them, it might be easier on them.
