Sea Horse trouble

[escarber]

My young son has a sea horse tank with right now only 2 pipe fish and a cardinal fish. It is 10 gallon. I have live rock and been around 8 months. I just can't get a sea horse to stay alive in there. Any suggestions

The only sea horses that should be in a 10 are dwarfs. Pipes should also be in a bigger tank imo. Anyhow, what are you feeding them?

I am feeding mysis shrimp and cyclpods. My pipes have been around for 7months. We are upgrading it to a 20 gallon. Also the 10 gallon has an overflow system.

Sea Horses are tough to keep. What is the tank temperature? Sea Horses are colder water animals and typically people that keep them need a chiller. Are you using RO/DI water? Are you watching them eat enough food? 10 gallon is not a great tank to keep stable for any animal, let alone a seahorse.
