That is pretty neat Sam, you are quite the fearless fishkeeper! Will you be able to have more than one in the nano?
We should put a disclaimer similar to reefburnaby's under your pictures/posts: "I am Sam the Bold, and my tactics are far advanced. Not to be tried by any newbie."

How big is your nano? How often per day do you feed mysis?
Beverly, its a 6 gallon Eclipse and the seahorse is fed once a day Monday-Friday. I have a film canister with 2 pinholes with brine shrimp eggs inside floating in the nano on weekends which allows something to eat during weekends also.

Thanks for the reply.
For some reason, I thought seahorses ate 2-4 times a day which is one reason why I never really considered keeping them. Goes to show what I know :confused:

Sam,
Do you mind telling me where you get your seahorse from? I am thinking of converting my 46 gal freshwater tank to a seahorse tank, any suggestion as to how many seahorses I can keep?
Thanks

I used this website as a guide.

Feeding once or twice a day is fine. They only eat about 3-6 shrimps per day.
