Kuda Seahorse

[jimmy08]

I was wondering if it would be ok to add one or two of these seahorses? I have a 90 gallon tank with 2 clowns (nemo) 1 yellow tang, I longhorn cow fish (extremely small) a purple and orange lobster, 2 urchins, and some snails and hermits. If I can add them, is there anything else special I should add with them like plants or something?

Thanks

seahorses are very hard to keep they need a mature tank with good food sorces lots of rocks and pods. If you put them in you need to have these things or they will end up being food for your lobsters and crabs. Also you should list some of your equipment on your discription.

I have a fluval 405, A jebo 180 hangon skimmer, 350 watt heater, 2 korilla (#2 and #3) My lighting is a T5 nova exterme, I have 45 lbs of live rock, and fake corals for decoration. So what do you think?

They cant handle very much water flow. It has to be very calm for them.

If you want to add seahorses to a tank it pretty much has to be very calm with not much flow and small fish, no predators. I would set up a seperate tank for them if you want seahorses.
Also I would not try to raise any kind of seahorses unless they are tank raised and not wild. Wild seahorses most of the time will not eat, trust me I tried everything to get mine to eat a few years back and they just did not last long,money down the drain.
