So excited over these guys I could just pee myself!!!
Been patiently waiting a long time, OK maybe not so patiently LOL
We're on day 3 now & these guys eat like little pigs. Very lucky they were tank raised & loving brine shrimp. Don't have to spot feed, they're 2 great little hunters & always on the prowl!!
Enjoy, we sure do!!!
:cool: :cool:

Update;
These 2 seem to be settling in very nicely. Yesterday I think they started to pair up. Won't get my hopes up too high but they're getting sweet with each other. Wrapping their tails together & swimming around. Then they put their noses together & feel each others faces & then gently bump their tummies together??? Soooooo cool!!! :cool:
Will try & get a vid if I can. Here's a few pics.

They are really nice. The dedication of species only tanks though is beyone my will power. Hope they work out for you.

Thanks Ross
It's a 47G tall tank. We do have a couple of small gobies in there & may add in a pipefish or 2. If they continue to bond like they are we will probably just let them be & see what transpires. They're very entertaining.
Cheers!!

Yes they've been a long time dream & very happy to have it realized.
So far things seem to be going very well. Yesterday we did some research & figured out that we have a male & female. So cool!!!
Cheers!

Love the full frontal pic.
I've been thinking of setting up a tank for sea horses for a while now. This has inspired me to start one soon.

I have salt tanks as well as the freshwater. For the saltwater tanks I use a site at www.aquariumfans.ca Good people over there, not big but friendly.

And I know they would be dying to see your seahorses
