Sea Horses

[Beverly]

Pics of my H. whitei tank when it was set up two years ago. I no longer keep SHs because of the time and dedication involved....



Close up of a hitching post I made out of drinking straws. They loved that hitching post and often slept hitched to it overnight ...



Seahorses will hitch to rock in a pinch, but in their natural habitat, they would rather hitch to aquatic plants and macroalgae. We did not keep any corals in with our seahorses. Live corals sting them, as they have no scales like other fish to protect their skin.

I hope my post is taken as an educational tool rather than a personal knock on the way your SH tank is set up.

You are right that captive bred/tank raised SHs do far better in captivity than do wild caught.

Cheers
