Have to rotate stock

[Paulie 069]

What’s up reefs peeps, especially the ones addicted to seahorses like I am. I have been lucky enough to have been able to find 10 more seahorses,, a nice mix of male and female and basically the same size(about 2 inches each)
Anyway I need to move my larger older ponies to awesome new homes so I can make room for the new seahorses
Reason I’m giving away larger ponies is because they are already trained to eat frozen mysis and brine shrimp
Also need to make room for new batch so I can get started training them. So one day they will make a great pet for someone
ALL SEAHORSES ARE FREE

If it is in tank I guess so but I’ve never had that problem with any of my livestock yet,,,,, knock on wood, and if they did my cleaner shrimp would take care of it lol

 

[mickeysreef <*))))<]

yeah just wondering cause it's only on fish and idk that seahorse are considered fish.

I'm setting up a 75g coral qt so if like to stock it with something other than fish.

Seahorses are fish. They live in water, breath through gills and have a swim bladder. However they do not have caudal fins and have a long snake-like tail. They also have a neck and a snout that points down

you know the horses better than me for sure. But damage doesn’t look to bad. Do you think it will be ok?

Won’t know until tomorrow afternoon when lights have been on and there’s a lot of activity going on,, now lights are off and all is quite,, but I definitely don’t like his breathing pattern at the moment
I’m sure he’s very stressed, as if he’ll make it is up to him The Erectus is a hardy creature and can take a lot
