What type of SH is this?
I want to get it a new setup, its in a 10 right now...only temporary... i was thinking of a 12 if its not a type that gets big..or gets big fast. i plan to run a lot of LR and macro algae... anyway...i need ID help. These are the best pics i could get, the little bugger moves pretty good when eating.

this may help, remember that horses can change their color.

with erectus, kuda, and reidi it is usually the coronet that will give them away.

.The first series is an example of a kuda coronet. The second set of a reidi.

great horses, common, and should be easier to feed frozen food.

yes, but make sure you do a qt. they love to have company and are very affectionate.

cool....
...also... i notice a lot of colors in SH, this that i have is brown and tan with little dark polkadots... is this pretty much what color she will stay? i thoughht since she's is so tiny, maybe all of them start brown and get a little color as they grow older. I'm ok if she stays brown, but color would be neat to look forward to. are there certain foods that would bring out the color more, or are the frozen mysis the best bet nutritionally... and what else should i be feeding if that is not complete? |

They change with mood, I think That will be the colors You have, As far as foods , Mysis is good but I also have alot of rock and macro algae and all kinds of pods and swimming shrimp like life in the tank, came in over time, They feed on it as well. I can go up to 3 days without feeding now and they can find food in the tank to eat. I think once You have a very mature tank they will be able to get a balance diet on mysis and pods and the like

they can change color at will depending on their surroundings. give it a lighter background and it will probably turn more yellow.
