Seahorse

I was woundring if it would be ok to put a tank raised seahorse in my nano? I don't think it would hurt my corals would it?

They are harder to feed and are dirtier then most fish. Other then that the tank ones are more hardy then the wild ones.

they like vegatation to wrap their tails around and seem to like a lot of flow. Not so much as blow them away but a steady direct current. Dunno if you want it in your nano though....

Make sure it will eat more than just brine shrimp before you buy.
They are very cool looking creatures.

You can't have most fish in with them either. There VERY hard to deal with....I wouldn't suggest it

very hard to keep. I have heard they are harder to keep than most anemones. because of there feeding habits, and the quality of water makes a huge difference. I would strongly suggest reading as much about them as you can befor you even consider keeping them. I looked into them and decided they would be too difficult for me to keep. alot of time envolved.

best of luck though

Thanks guys. I did alittle reading about them and they do sound alittle tough to keep plus they say you shouldn't keep seahorses with clams. If the seahorse bumps in to the calm the clam could shut on the seahores and hert him. Pluse there is a whole list of reasons why not to keep them in a reef thank. Thanks for your help.
