Here are my seahorses.
This one, Jetlag, is the first one I got.
He was bright yellow when younger.

They are very beautiful! One day my husband and I want to set up a seahorse tank. We know it needs to be done right so we are waiting until we know we can provide the best for them. Can you post a pic of your whole set up?
You can find it on Natural blue thread called something like "show us our bare bottom" but tank have changed since

Ok, now I understand-they are pics of your pony's growth progression. I love Voodoo's cirri when he was younger. I have a young female, Delilah now who also has cirri like that and my husband and I love it. I keep reminding Dave that she will most likely lose it when she is more mature. He is in denial so I need to show him Voodoo.

I have another example or cirri most.

So you have Jetlag, Voodoo and Marmite. Do you have any other seahorses?

I am amazed at the beautiful colors your seahorses are. When I upgraded to my new tank I was hoping that the light blue/yellow back wall would encourage yellow and orange to come out in my ponies but all 3 are brown. Perhaps I have too much LR.

I have these 3 erectus and about 120+ dwarf seahorses.
I don t expect Marmite to stay this color, it s already showing darker in some parts of the body and I believe he will turn black.
I have no background, just the white wall.
Maybe putting them with only yellow/orange/red items will make them change color?

Beautiful @Lucie! I am always in awe of your seahorses and tanks! They are so prestine and your picture taking skills are remarkable!
I don t have picture taking skills, i have nice subjects!
Just need to have very clean glass, lot of patience and a good lightning.
I use a cheap compact camera!

I have looked at yellow/orange ornamental sponges multiple times but just can't bring myself to add manmade ornamentation to my tank. The truth is I think it would make my tank pop more and the general overall look would be more appealing. Who knows, someday I still may do it.
