new year, new seahorse build!!!!!!(many pictuers)

ya im thinking about getting some mangroves for this tank. i already have a ton of dead corals for stichs and a few colored fake ones. and i have this old 2 bulb t-5 that im useing over this tank and it looks relly good. also about feeding, i have been feeding once a day

 

if you get an erectus make sure they are already eating frozen mysis or else youll have to ween them. also they are quite expensive if they are colorful. also they need larger tanks like at least a 29.

 

Con has bought a pair of erectus. They are currently in quarantine, before going into his DT. Eating frozen, mysis, I believe.

 

i am aware, i have kept several species of seahorses and erectus are most common and airly easy as well.

 

Connor, do the seahorses a big favour and feed them at least 2 times a day.
You have nothing else in the Qtank for them to feed on so once a day is not enough.

 

ok well i get home at 2: 30 i think im going to start feeding twice after doing some research. so im going to be feeing when i get home and im thinking about feeding again at 6 or . how dose that sound

 

Mix it up if you can. Feed both PE mysis and something like Hikari. Even add some spirulina enriched frozen brine in there (like Hikari).

I don't feed any live adult brine, they are like lint bushes... pick up anything and everything, good or bad.

 

so u think i should be feeding at different times a day. i haven been feeding at 5 everday, should i mix it up

 

From what have read, I would feed in smaller amounts, but 2 or 3 times a day.

 

Connor, one a day is not enough. Varying the time of day for feeding won't change that.
Feed at least two times a day, possibly before school and then after supper.
Then siphon the remaining uneaten food from the tank after the last feeding for the day.
