Actually most seahorses do better at a lower temp (68-74) so room temp seems to be ok for the fry.

With the reidi fry, the lower temperatures most definitely improved the survival rates.
Again, it comes down to the seahorse susceptibility to bacterial infections and when above the 74° mark, it strongly comes into play.
I have 5 seahorse tanks and have no heaters in any of them. In fact, I'm in the process of moving them all to the same area in order to have one AC unit keep them cool enough in summer.

They are so cute, I plan on changing my tank over to seahorses, just a few alterations (I hope). Will be watching your thread.
