15gal nano for seahorse?

[howdy20012002]

it might work - that was my mistake, u did say that it was 19 h.
but keep a really good grip on the water conditions
a tank that small can go downhill fast.
good luck with whatever u decide
seahorses can be great.
however, they don't move around alot..lol
don't expect any high speed moves.

They also get sick relatively easy, like a form of gas bubble disease. They can also be very finicky to feed. As mentioned, a bigger tank is a much better home for seahorses, for the reasons we've posted. My seahorses stay still most of the time & are most active at feeding time. They are also in a 2' by 2' cube. Although its only 18" tall, that doesn't seem to bother them too much. Have reidis & kudas.

Thanks Every one for you input.

It is do-able but with a close watch on perameters.
What whould be the best seahorse to suit my tank, reidis or kudas?
How long should I have tank running be for adding seahorses?
What kind of macroalgae?

Young tank raised are your best bet. Small size to fit the tank so they can have a little time to grow up in it. Reidis are more colourful, but also more expensive than kudas. It is also harder to raise Reidi babies.

Remember, seahorses eat alot (should be fed at least twice daily with good quality mysis). They will increase the nutrient levels in such a small water volume. Any way to either up the display or sump size?

For macro, I love using red grape, red halimenia, and prolifera. All are blade or tall branchy types of macro.

Research on seahorse.org as well. They are cool (my favourite fish) but high maintenance fish, especially in a small system.

Cool thanks alot for your help.
Unfortunatly cannot increase size of sump or display with out replacing everything. Sump is custom made to fit inside of the stand.
