Hi. Two days ago I bought an erectus seahorse from an LFS and put it in my 30g seahorse tank. Temp is 74 degrees, and I’m lowering it to room temperature to slow reproduction rate of bacteria. Nitrate is under 5. No ammonia or nitrite. Tank has been set up for almost a year.
It’s been eating frozen Mysis eagerly.
This afternoon I found its tail stuck in the intake tube of a powerhead. It wasn’t being chopped up, it was just stuck. I gently and slowly pulled it out, and the fish swam quickly all around the tank. It’s now hitched to some macro. It’s motionless, but still breathing. It won’t eat or move at all. Will it be OK in a few days, or is there something I should do?
