djsurfs Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsurfs Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolliolli Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
