    Does anyone know of any web pages or books to learn about Seahorse tanks? I would like to do as much research as possible before deciding on starting one or not. Any one here have one?

    Thanks for the quick response. I ma looking at a pair of miniature horses, I think they grow to an 1.5” so feeding is going to be the biggest task to learn. Do you have Seahorses?

    Happy New Year!!

    The ultimate seahorse site:

    http://www.seahorse.org

    I was going to get some until I realized that my current setup puts out too many bubbles. Air bubble screw them up and then you have to 'burp' them.

    You do have to hold it and then use a toothpick of some sort I believe and gently press in sideways on the pouch/abdomen area to release bubbles.

    I don't know who would be more stressed, the seahorse or I!
