Couldn't you tell by their behaviour if they were feeling secure?
would therereally be no behavioural indicators if the habitat was to small and causing stress? And right now, I only have 3 tanks on te go, so maybe that will allow me a little more energy, time and willingness to ensure the health of my specemins..  In any case, if the experts here agree that a 12ap would suffice for a pair of dwarfs, then I can go ahead to the planning/research stage. Thank you for your advice and support.

One thing to keep in mind, I've seen posts on the "org" where people with aquapods have trouble keeping the temperatures down to aquarium seahorse range of 68° to 74°F.

Check with zenafish but on the org I believe they still recommend the same temp range as normal seahorses and that is not over 74° for best chances of success longterm.

When you say "dwarfs" do you mean H. zosterae? If so, a 12 is way too big! For a 10 gallon tank you would need to pack at least 5 pairs of dwarfs in there, if not more. This is because you would need to load up the tank with BBS in order to get the concentration up high enough, but then you would need lots of ponies to eat it all so it doesn't fowl the water.
Most dwarf keepers suggest 2-3 pairs in a 5 gallon, or even a 2.5 gallon, to start with. H. angustus are a smaller seahorse species that *might* be ok in a 12 gallon, provided it had ample foilage to hide in. Its a tough one, I would recommend at least a 15, but it probably could be done in a 12. Height is important too, how tall is the AP12? -Diana
