I'm building a frag tank...

20g tank with build in sump in the side of the tank. I had made some eggcrate shelves to hold the frag disks. Anyway, here's my question, CAN I put in 1 or 2 seahorses in the frag tank?

Of course you can, I've even seen it done before, however, most recommend putting horses in a much deeper tank. Also with lots of plant life that they can wrap around and not get blown away. Check out www.seahorse.org they have a lot of goof info about seahorse requirements.

I would prefer more flow than the seahorses could endure, I would imagine. I think they require pretty low-flow

I could be wrong tho

Yes, you want high flow and high light. The high flow is not what seahorses want. And, of course, feeding them in high flow is next to impossible as they are gentle eaters.

Thanks for the replies, I will forget about putting the seahorses in the frag tank.

What's the recommend fish for the frag tank?
