    The seahorses are so cool to watch swimming around! I’ve seen a few ‘planted’ saltwater tanks before, but they were all nano sized. Hopefully the macroalgae takes off, I think it looks great

    This has honestly made my day! I’ve always loved seahorses because they reminded me of horses but I have never owned them because I have no experience with salt water aquariums and know how unique they are so it’s amazing for you to get them as your content is always so authentic and shows what it’s really like. I hope one day once I’m older and have a stable job I can get more experienced with salt water tanks and eventually have my own seahorse aquarium. I only have one fish tank and it’s a cold water tank as I’m at university but your videos are always such an inspiration to me

      I worked at an aquarium as a volunteer and NOBODY was allowed to touch them. Only 1 member of the staff who was very experienced with their care fed, did water changes and cleaned their tank. They are very sensitive and can die quickly

      @ProxoDJ 2 роки тому +8

      The main problem is they need a good established tank and people hate that period and impulse buy (me included, on corals)
      giving you a massive hit and miss ratio (2 of the same coral, next to each other 1 dies, the other doesn't for example)
      A good source of where you get the seahorses and a good established tank should do.
      If you're willing to skip that part, prepare for daily water tests, water changes, baby caring.
      Edit: Always ask what they feed on in the shop and possibly ask to see them feeding if you' don't completely trust the store.

    The decorative macroalgae tank keepers, while not common, are a dedicated subset of the marine hobby that has some amazing tanks, but since it's hard to compete with the popularity of reef tanks, their popularity has never really take off. I will say, having kept some macroalgae tanks myself, they can be quite challenging in their own right, as many macroalgae require specific water parameters to flourish, and it's easy to overrun them with nuisance algae. Regardless, it's good to see you're bringing some attention to the idea, no matter how simple.

    Macroalgae is AMAZING for the Saltwater community! It works wonders for removing nitrates, just like the plants in freshwater!! Also if the Seahorses don't eat, try culturing Daphnia, all you need is a barebottom tank, and to feed them you can give them Bug Bites or let a bucket sit outside after rain and take some green water and culture that in a jar ir something and feed the daphnia a good squirt every day, Edit: I also hope Macroalgae will help get people into the Saltwater part of the hobby as well!!

    After seeing you run a saltwater tank like a freshwater tank, I was inspired to give it a go with my own twist - I did an Australian rockpool Biotope, planted with macroalgaes, stocked with seastars, dwarf aquatic hermit crabs, snails & shrimp, all in a 5 gallon. It’s so cool to watch, so different from a freshwater planted tank. I’ve gotta say though, you’re tempting me to start another one for seahorses.

It’s been decades since I kept aquariums and I was wondering if seahorses could thrive in one. So I just keyed in seahorse aquarium and found your charming video. Now I’m ready to learn more before I proceed.
    The first question I need to answer is can I add other fish and sea creatures in a seahorse aquarium? So I’ll look for a video on that topic. Thanks for such an enthusiastic video to get me started.

  • @comedianmattrossey

    Joey,
    By far the coolest kind of saltwater fish anyone could have. Ok, now I'm freakin jealous man. It would be awesome if the male and one of the females mate and are successful, and you end up with babies, that would be sooooooo cool!!!!
    Truthfully I've always thought that seahorses would be very hard to keep in an aquarium because of how particular they are in what they eat and the conditions of everything around them. They seem to be a very sensitive fish from what I have learned. But hey, when I was keeping saltwater fish years ago the saltwater hobby was far behind from what it is now.
    Definitely keep us up to date on how they are doing. Ohh and the algae in their aquarium looks great. Maybe a couple more stacks to help the algae root and spread to give the seahorses more to cling onto would be good.
    AWESOME!!!!

    Please make sure you have variable flow in your tanks. Contrary to what most people believe, seahorses do like a bit of current and love to play in it!

Keep an eye on the temps too...cooler is your friend with seahorses to avoid bacteria related issues.
