Looks nice, are those real plants or fake plants? If they are real what are they called and where can I get some?

 

[60G]

the plant in the front is real and its called money plant you can ask your lfs if they can get it.

Halimeda? Hm, your pic looked a little different to me.

I hope you are planning a larger set up for the kelloggi seahorses.
The normal seahorses like reidi and erectus really should have a minimum of about 29g but with due diligence in husbandry, could be kept in a 24.
However, the kelloggi are a much larger seahorse and really need even larger tanks.

I believe if I'm not mistaken they were at one time called the "Great Seahorse" meaning large...up to 12" when mature. Keep that temp down to control the bacteria.....Looks good

 

[60G]

yes it is halimata i might need to sell the horses if they get 12'' lol thanks for a the comments.:spin3:

 

[mikencarol]

If you get them to 12"....you won't have any problems selling them...wouldn't that be awsome to see in someone's home tank.....seahorses a foot long!!!!!!! Keep after them...Good luck!....BTW...H Ingens are supposed to get nearly the same size......

nice tgank. where did you get your seahorse from?

 

[60G]

i had both for a few weeks and one got a white thing on its back and the other on died shortly after the first i got them from SDC.

Sorry to hear the loss of your seahorses.
Unfortunately it's all too common with kelloggi seahorses.
What is "SDC" ?
