Fish that are compatible with seahorses?
Because I am new I ask these silyl questions but is it a
bad idea to mix damsels and seahorses? |

I would re-post your question in the Seahorse Forum here to get a better response.

Yes it is a bad idea, SHs require no competition for food and will starve rather than trying to compete (which is impossible). As for fish you can keep some pipe fish with SHs but that is all i would recommend. SH tanks are special tanks and always but aquacultured horses as WC ones will likely not survive. As always research , research and then research some more.

Corals are good companions for seahorses.

This will give you a breakdown of the best and worst tankmates for SH.
http://www.seahorse.org/library/arti...ankmates.shtml From what I've seen dragonettes and gobies are the best tank mates. |
