Well, there are no guarantees with salt water fish, and especially seahorses, but if you do everything right, and buy the right seahorses, then you have a good chance.

Putting a glass lid on a salt water tank greatly inhibits the necessary gas exchange that takes place at the waters surface.
Egg crate or screen is a much better method, with egg crate being the one...

Nice looking tank.
I just wanted to mention though, that from other posts, you are still planning your tank.
Keep in mind, that the minimum tank requirements for a pair of seahorses is 29/30g. With...

Yes, that is why it was one of the fish I tried years ago when I first started the hobby.
Unfortunately it had a problem just with that one male reidi and had to be removed. Again, an exception,...

Most jawfish are not suitable for seahorses.
Only the Pearly Jawfish is rated as a 1 and I had to remove mine many years ago because it would nip at one of the seahorses.
It never bothered the...

First Time

Well, one of my reidi pairs has been what appeared to be an egg transfer all day but they just couldn't seem to connect at all.
They are only using the top half of the tank for some reason.

Congratulations Ken.
How are you keeping the fry in suspension so they don't contact the surface?

I agree with that but you don't need a kreisel, just any method to keep them from surfacing.
I too found it best to use greenwater and I change the water totally every 2 days in each nursery.

I only have male reidis left of the ones I raised but you are a long way away and I don't think the shipping would be worth it.

Well I can't say about out west, but farther east here, we have a hard time finding H. barbouri and when they come in, the price is usually around $129. Mine were close to that after discounts for...

Under acceptable conditions the lifespan of most seahorses would be 5yrs to 8yrs and sometimes more.
Being that most of the seahorses showing up here in Canada are about 3 months old when they get...

Well the pictures are still too dark for real good comparison but I would say based on the coronet that it is not a reidi. This coronet tilts back like kuda instead of being convoluted like reidi....

Pretty hard to tell from that pic. Can you get a full close up profile shot that isn't too dark?
There are many types of seahorses sold under the kuda name so that can be a bit more iffy.

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.
