Hi Taylor. Seahorses are saltwater fish; while platies are freshwater so they would not live together. However, you can slowly acclimate fancy guppies to saltwater and they would co-exist with dwarf seahorses. Please read up on keeping a marine tank though before trying it; saltwater is much more difficult to keep than freshwater.

Hello,
I was thinking of raising some dwarf seahorses would raising Marigold Variatus with the seahorses be a bad idea?

Hello all,
I am still in the works of planning my dwarf seahorse aquarium and I have been trying to find a alternative solution to panacur since I would like to have at least one zoanthid in the tank with the dwarfs. So I have been looking around and I noticed that there have been some work with a Nudibrach learchis poica from ccritters.com but I cannot find more information about them on the internet. So do they only eat hydroids or can they eat other foods? Will they eat zoanthids (polyps)? For the people who have tried the nudibranch have they continued to keep your tanks hydroid free? I’m just trying to get more validation on this nudibranch thing since it is kind of new to me and all that I have heard about killing hydroids is nuking the tank with panacur. Also I know that hydroids have to have some natural predator in that wide ocean, right?

Hi, A five gal tank is better. It will be enough room for babies born in the future. Babies can remain in the same tank as the adults they will eat the same bbs. I purchased a small bottle of sanfrancisco brand shrimp eggs they are a bit smaller strain for the sh fry to eat. An air driven sponge filter is the best for these little guys but make sure your tank is cycled completely .. I use live sand but dry rock. You still have to worry about hydroids unless you panacur the tank to prevent them.
