H. capensis

[bkmorris]

does anyone keep any H. capensis? i saw them on ocean rider and they seem like great little horses for a medium sized species tank. just looking for any stories, experience, etc. and yes, i know they are endangered. obviously i plan on getting them CB....

thanks!

I had some about a year ago. They are a nice size but they need cooler water so you might want to invest in a chiller if you are serious about getting some.

They must be kept at 74F or lower. Not 75F or 76F... 74F max.

Really? I wouldn't go above 68F, but that's just me. They are tail draggers and prone to bacterial tail infections from what I have read.
