Seahorses
I am not new to the hobby but i am looking into starting a Seahorse tank. I can fit a 30 gallon tank. i've done a lot of research but don't know how many of the h.erectus seahorses i can fit, it any at all. Can anyone give me advise or any additional information you have on Seahorses. Thank you

Sorry, I have no experience with seahorses, wish I did
if you don't get an answer here, there is a seahorse forum through reefcentral. |

You can fit at least a pair of erectus in 30 gallons. Seahorse Source is very trusted around here, and here are their recommendations for erectus:

Oh, and keep in mind that not only do you have to consider tank size as it relates to personal space for the horses, but also keep in mind that they produce a lot of waste as they do not have true stomachs and must eat more frequently which means water volume as it relates to waste will be an issue as well.
