:) So excited to share this with you guys! Although at the size the Erectus' came in from Seahorse.com, I think it's almost time for an upgrade, lol!

Tankmates:
4 Erectus, mated pairs eating frozen from seahorse.com
2 Dragon-faced pipefish
1 Red-striped pipefish
1 Tiny misc seahorse that came in the gorg shipment at AquaSD. He was free. :)
2 Redfin Waspfish: For now, they stay in this tank, as they won't compete for food, and don't do much but sit in the sand all day. If they misbehave, they get the boot to another tank.

Awesome tank! Awesome fish! please let me know when/if your ready to upgrade, u got a buyer right here. Lol. What kind of lighting are you using, I've read that seahorses prefer pretty modest lighting. And I'm sure your claim prefers more. :-)
Awesome setup! Good luck and please keep updating us on thier progress.

How often do you feed them? I have always wanted a seahorse tank but with travel and regular work I wouldn't be able to take care of them properly.

Thanks! On a side note, no one has been able to positively ID the little seahorse. It's possible it's an undiscribed species. I'm going to name it Hippocampus Alissia, lol

Not sure on the dwarfs Jesse

Yes Brad you are right. However, since she flipped what was in the tank previously in order to go with the Ponys the cost was basically nil. That being said I do need to at least get the the stand redone and tank cleaned up a little more so that when I can drop the $$$ on the needed equipment it will be ready to build.

Chad - Thanks for the comment, but it's all Alissa's doing. ( Had to point that out for my well being ;P )

These are awesome! I am thinking of setting up my 10Gal as a tank for a few dwarfs, requested by my female.
