very pretty tank!

How long have you had her?
Good to hear she is eating well - keep an eye on that her belly looks a little thin. If you can add selacon to the food that might help her even more!

today is day 3, i bought him at pet store that just opened up locally, the girl had had him for around 6 months prior to me buying him.. he is super friendly to the point where he will swin up and grab onto my fingers and leisurely eat mysis out of my hand


so far all he has been given is mysis and brine, im not sure what else is good for them.. i didnt expect to ever have a horse, but my girlfriend talked me into it and i figured since my tank is tall and totally non aggressive i could probably keep one well, so here i am

as far as how big he is, when he is in curly q mode like he is in the picture in my first post, he is around 4 inches tall. he has been very active, and seems to like to play in one pot in the tank where the current is strong.. he will swim into it and bob and weave all around and i really cant think of any reason he would be doing that other than it is a good time

if anyone has any suggestions on how i can better keep him, im all ears.. i am kind of taking a crash corse in seahorses, because before i came home with him my knowledge about caring for them was extremely limited at best

heres another cool picture of him
