I want seahorses in my dorm. opinions?

nope, no thread...just random pix. i don't think there are any showing the guppies tho. the guppies were actually some that switched to SW when they weren't eaten by a scorp we were weaning to frozen, so we popped them into the NC12.
 
thanks everyone!!
you have all helped out a ton!!
I think i'll wait till i'm in my dorm for a couple months to decided if i want a saltwater tank.
I decided that if i dont get salt water aquarium i'll at least get myself some kind of easy care fresh water fish, then start a salt water tank when i'm in a more stable home with more time on my hands!
 
welll u are wrongly informed about hand feeding seahorses. at least mine wont eat it while I'm holding it lol they are too spoiled.
honestly best pet/aquarium would be a small tank with 2 clown fishes.

take care of adding top off and .... for now, and u will have lotd of fun with 2 clowns, and u can hand feed them and they are easy to take care of. if u pass everything, get ureself an anemone next semester ;) lol
 
Just be careful they are a lot of work. It may be hard to give them the amount of time/feedings they need while going to school. Yes you may be able to swing it, but swinging it doesn't provide the horses with the care they need. I'd suggest a small reef tank, hell maybe even one of those pico tanks....
 
being in college myself and im studying biology as well, I dont have the time to maintain a tank. there is a lot of work that goes into it and you just wont have the time to do it. I go to school full time, work part time, and im lucky if i have an hour to hang with friends. after your freshman year if you think you can handle it give it a try, but i wouldnt even think about it freshman year. By the way i ended up gettting a goldfish because its easyer than saltwater, and i never even really found time to do water changes and ended up getting rid of the tank. Plus your roommates will proabably get drunk and doses your tank with vodka.

I didn't want to mentioned that part. considering you ***ALL*** are underage drinker.:frog: Unless you live here, you are allow to start on beer at 16.:rollface:
 
lol good point puffer.
i'd much rather have time for my horse.
she is my life and if a tank took away from my time with her i'd be ready to give it away.
 
well the way i leander was whatching my dad do all of his stuff ween i was 10 i remember my first fish tank as i grew up i saw that having a fish tank gave you a good leseon of responsabiltie
 
Dwarf seahorses can EASILY be housed in a 12G. But there is a lot more to look at. Like a modified sponge filter, less power than most saltwater lighting and water movement, live brine shrimp hatching. A lot of work for little creatures but I LOVE them!!! Breed like rabbits too!
