sea horse or not

[Robert Walters]

would it be alright if i put a sea horse in my 12g nanocube? i currently have 2 true percs 1 aneneme 5 snails 5hermits 5lbs of lr thanks for your help

[GeekGirlUnveiled]

No. Percs will eat all the food and the anemone will sting it to death.

also... most seahorses get too big for a 12 gallon...

[Robert Walters]

really how big of tank would i need?

[nk290]

No smaller than a 30 gallon.

[Swanwillow]

yup.

and taller is good. 2.5-3x thier full ADULT height... but they also swim side to side...
a 29 gallon is perfect for H. erectus

thanks

[Robert Walters]

does the aquariun need to be heavily planted

[Swanwillow]

not really... heres two great sites to learn from
seahorse.org
sygnathid.org

*most* people have LR, macros, and hitching posts

hitching posts can be plastic plants, plastic corals, or some real corals.

I advise to go to either of those sites and read away!!!! theres a great library at seahorse.org... I dunno alot about sygnathid.org, but they are really helpful also!
