Horses in an aquarium

[rutledgek]

Does anyone have any links to a chart of sorts that can show what species can be kept in what size tank. I was looking at H. Erectus in a 30g oceanic. Now I could keep 2 but what is keeping me from keeping more. Is it the verticle space, the gallonage(I plan on adding a sump), or the Length/Width space? Thanks!

About half way down in the article: http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/SeahorseFactsAndInfo.shtml

I'd be willing to have 2 pairs in there... 4 horses. but not much else to add to the bioload. they are messy eaters!

Cool so I could have 2 pair in a 30 oceanic?

I would agree, 2 pair would be fine.. You may want to have some small type of goby in there to help clean up left over food if you don't plan on a feeding station.

Just keep up with water changes either way.

Good luck.
