New Member, just saying "HOWDY"

Post by Kris »

Found this place doing a google search.

I've only been doing Sw for the last 6 mos. Got a 55 with seahorses, and another 55 I'm not sure what I want to do with. My DH was going to set it up as a reef, but he's to impatient, didn't let it cycle before adding stuff now everything is dying and he told me it's mine now.

Great site BTW! :lol:

Excellent. Seahorses can be very rewarding and are a learning experience to say the least. Wonderful fish.

Thanks. Red I got them somewhere else. I sometimes forget about Progressive, with I had known he had some. Rich is the only person I've spoken to locally that didn't tell me I was crazy or stupid for trying Seahorses. Guess they're happy, first brood is on the way. Anybody want to try raising H. Eretuc fry?

One piece of advice I can offer about seahorses is that you should have a quarantine tank, medications, etc. ready if you ever need them. If they are kept properly, then you won't have too many problems, but even then, you may run into an issue. Just be prepared in case something does happen and you can fix it before it becomes a problem.
