I can't say that seahorses are compatible with lionfish and eels but if you're careful it can be done. If you stick with a smaller lionfish such as a dwarf and the seahorse is bigger than food it could easily eat then you should be fine. And a less aggressive eel such as a ribbon eel seems to pose little threat.

In the tank I currently have a Fu-Man-Chu Lionfish, a Ghost Ribbon Eel, a small Frogfish, and an Engineer Goby. All have proved suitable tank mates.

Yesterday I added something new that I have to admit has me a little nervous

wow shelps a really nice choice of fish you have there!!

I bet anyone adding the last fish would be kinda shaky as it's not exactly the cheapest fish on the block.....

Yeah it wasn't necessarily a cheap fish but the price at my LFS was actually really cheap for this kind of fish. I watched the store sit on the fish for months and I told myself if it was still there in the new year I would buy it, and sure enough it's mine now. People in Saskatoon are crazy!
I'm more nervous about the size, it's a little bigger than I thought and the seahorse is super curious.

Ahh I see although they probally know or realize that seahorses taste like pigeons compared to prawns which is more meatier like steak to us.....

Btw what is it eating?

since the store has had it for a few months I would presume that they got it on frozen but what kind, also if you want to keep it's brilliant colours probally have to enrich the frozen with lots of aminos maybe even other vitamins.

It's eating frozen krill, trained by the LFS. Thanks for the tip.
