If Shelps can do it....then so can I........maybe

I would like to put one or two in my shallow lagoon but I feel like there is way too much flow in there. He would get blasted around the tank. Plus I read that they like lower temperatures. I know lots of people put them in normal reef temp tanks like 77-81, but don't they prefer 75 ish ?

When I kept them before I had the temp set at 80 deg same as all my other tanks..my temp does not fluctuate. They did great till one fateful blond moment of stupidity

...long story!

Your right though depending on how much flow and guessing you may have a lot...they may just fly around rather than swim. I have a MP20 placed up high so don't see it as a issue

Thats correct... Most seahorses do better at a temp of 68-75. When you go over 75 you are more likely to run into bacterial infections.

I have been informed by the supplier.

Here is an unprecedented guarantee; they are offering a “1 year live guarantee”.

Oh come on, that doesn't even make sense... you must of miss typed that.

Nope,

These are captive bred seahorses and they are proud of them. I have an email to confirm it.

As long as it isn't from neglect, they will replace them. That is good as the orange and red are a bit expensive.

a bit expensive would be approximately how much?

BlueWorldAquatic · #8 02-26-2010, 03:11 AM

Red & Orange Seahorses Landed will be about $180-$200 each.

I have pesonally been on the hunt for reds for the last 6 months.

I love the idea of a 1 year warranty as I am in the consumer position but the "neglect" factor is what scares me. Ken can you please elaborate on this, if my sea horse dies do they perform an autopsy to determine if it was actually "neglect". What does "neglect" entail, and how much appx are they looking for the colorful ones?

I'll confirm with the supplier about neglect. Basically I think they just want confirmation of any bodily damage.

But as with most breading faciilities line them and ORA they will replace DOA's because of their reputations.

ORA is amazing for that, as they don't question any concerns I have.

In short, I this supplier is not worried of the odd "dead", they probally just want the dealer to confirm with a body.
