hi guys,i have managed to stay away from marine up untill now but didnt realise you could get seahorses in nz untill i saw some pics,does anybody know where i could get some?

They are fairly hard to come by...

there was a new shipment of tropicals 2-3 months ago, so if you hunt there might still be some around.

I can't seem to find his latest post and can't remember which shop had them... but try PMing Alf as he got several.

Oh! and of course Livingart probably knows where to get a few

Alf, where are you??? :bounce: we (I, LOL) need an update on those SH!! are they still happy and eating? and have you found a decent source for food? I will probably be coming down again just prior to Christmas to pick up Mum....

topical are still around

coldwater will require a chiller for summer

Definitely! my house is usually fairly cool, but the chiller has still been kicking in heaps with this weather we've been having lately I would be stressing out about my native critters without that chiller

i found one wrapped around some grass last summer it was so cute!

theres some at wonderworld in rotorua (they usually have some) not sure whether they are tropical ones or not...

had a chat to world of water abd they get them in a few times a year,same with the goldfish bowl,might take a trip to rotorua and have a look,that is if i decide to swap my big tank to marine dont know yet

got a skimmer sorted?,

make sure horses are eating frozen food before purchasing

don't take someones word for it ask to see them fed

its on the list of things to get,dont worry,if i do go marine,ill do it properly.

dont want to fork out that much for the fish to then mess it up lol,thanks for that livingart ill check that

so much to think about with marine but then on the other hand the fish are beautifull

if you want seahorses, you'll need to either choose to have seahorses or fish, can't have both in the same tank, the seahorses won't be able to compete with the fish for food, plus they need very low current

yup i know ,much rather have the seahorses tho

they go well with pipefish though

Just thought id throw in an update here, I saw some Seahorses in Wonderworld Rotorua recently, within the last month, if your still after some :bounce:
