    This was truly a good video! (They all are but this one was a little better) Saw different types of fish, aquariums, products, toturials on different subjects, throwbacks, sadness, smiles - pretty much a little slice of everything, i loved it! - And that piranha tank, WOW!

    you might do well with getting 3 or 4 sand sifting starfish for the seahorses. they're less invasive than the shrimp and of course slower, and they'll eat what does fall into the sandbed keeping it even more clear, and they're good, in my experience, eating the brown slime algaes that appear

      @NotKumiYeou 2 роки тому +4

      @Dianoia Noesis not typically, but with seahorses being so passive they can be considered too "aggressive" in some cases like shown here. sand sifting stars are much slower and less aggressive and while they have eyes they can't see well and won't specifically target an area. turbo snails will stick to rockwork and glass and not touch the open sand bed much, and in my experience will absolutely eat the caulerpa and other macro algae that's trying to be grown here

    Having been absent for a while but after watching the seahorse tank I’m happy I came in to watch. Maybe add some pipefish with the seahorses to get some movement . Since you have all that yummy stuff for cocopods, misys, tiger pods you can see your tank with them and could be a self sustaining tank, adding all those live foods in my tank when I had my seahorse tank made the huge difference. Everything was breeding and keeping my seahorses alive for well over 6 years

Their diet is the same as seahorses so food was not a problem and "mine" were slow moving and none aggressive, but like you said maybe it worked for me.

    Just a quick suggestion for your Seahorse tank. To help with the left over proteins that are uneaten, I would highly recommend a HOB protein skimmer. I only do marine fish setups, and I run a protein skimmer on every tank I have. Will help you tremendously with possible ammonia spikes.

But do keep in mind that racemosa can to sexual. Which a part of the algea will turn white then release spots in the tank. This is harmless. Just clouds up the water for a bit.
