sea hare

Just wanted to get your thoughts on getting a sea hare. Do they need algae to survive? Pros and cons of the sea hare?? So ugly they are cute ;D

Sea hare do need a constant source of algaes to survive. Look at algae waffers as an alternative food source for them. Life span is not too long but they make a nice addition to a tank if you can provide for their dietary needs.

They're pretty easy to kill, and like Corailline says, they don't usually live very long in an aquarium (nor in the wild, for that matter). Dolabrifera species are ugliest, but are a bit hardier than Dolabella or Aplysia species. They are also hiders, though, so if you get one of the tough ones, you probably won't see it much.

Cheers,




Don

Also be careful if you have an overflow in the tank for some reason they love to get stuck on them, I had to stuff floss in mine to keep him from killing himself. Mine loves these.http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4260
