Please excuse the dirty tank. I skipped maintenance day today so it's a mess. This video is to show how active some seahorses can be. I have low flow in my tank. The power head that is seen is not in use. I turn it on every few days to blast the rock wall with flow to get detritus off.

Thanks!!!

Sweet! Hard to keep?
Honestly, they are pretty easy. The key is making sure the seahorse's needs are met. They need cooler water and other peaceful inhabitants. Also, it's important not to overstock the tank.

You should do it!!! They are pretty easy to care for. Although, I may be a little biased. ;)



In other news, I will be ordering 2-3 seahorses this week for delivery next week. I'm thinking of just ordering 2, but I am also considering having two pairs. I think my female will be happy either way.
