reptilez Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 can't wait to see the tank with all of the coral in ! :cr12: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91 ZERO Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Na no horses yet still waiting on Wonderworld to get them in. After talking direct with shops overseas it seems to be going around in circles. So just hurry up and wait I guess. One of the marine gurus at a petshop down here has contacts in NZ and harrases them on a weekly basis for me. So if anyone else knows if any?? I will get some photos up shortly. All animals and coral seem to be happy! Just got back today from honeymoon in Rarotonga, and the amount of fish and coral I wanted to smuggle back was incredible haha. Bright blue star fish well over a foot in diameter surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaDragon Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I suspect that you still have a few months wait for sea horses from Wonderworld. Last year they come out in May and were april the year before that. Need one of the other importers to bring some in and that will keep us both happy.

91 ZERO Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Been a while since I have posted an update. Finally got the tank shifted to our new home after having been looked after for so long by our mate Sam at his house (was a wedding present by him and me to my now wife (Sam actually has his own 400L marine tank now after selling his tropical tank). So in the tank now is: 1 x Starfish 1 x Pyjama Cardinal 1 x Bangai Cardinal and.... 2 x seahorses!! Finally! :thup: And we will just leave it at that while we get into a good routine with the tank. Thanks to Rob (SeaDragon) for letting us bowl round last night and have a look at your tank! Will post pics soon. Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reuben.a Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 :cophot: :nfs: awesome!! you could possibly get some macro algae growing in there for the seahorses to hold on to :-? it would look much better than the yellow chain. awesome though :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 that maybe what the red stuff is for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91 ZERO Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Cheers . Well we aren't using a wave maker yet as our old one died so have ordered another so the only flow is from the outlet so they aren't getting blown around and they are quite happily wrapping their tails around the nooks and crannies in the rock, the red plant, and chain. The big yellow one has already found a cave he likes :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFishing Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wow, he's real purdy.... Looks fantastic. :nfs: I remember spending quite a bit of time staring at the sea horses at Kelly Tarlton's. They are quite adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaDragon Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I did look into those, but don't know enough about it, plus have never seen it anywhere ha I have some if you want it. Also Witchdoktor has loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91 ZERO Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah I may take you up on that Rob if thats alright, cheers. Even though we have only had them one day, have been keeping a really close eye on their feeding to ensure they are getting something to eat. The little brown one is fiesty as, it scoots around and eats like a... horse. The big yellow one seems mellow, goes for a swim, then hangs out for ages, haven't seen him eat yet. The two Cardinals despite being "slow eaters" are enjoying the brine shrimp if it goes past them, but I don't want the big seahorse to miss out. So may look at relocating the Cardinals temporarily while the Seahorses settle more in? Or am I being overcautious? Its funny, the Cardinals tend to keep their distance from the 'horses, don't think they know what to make of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91 ZERO Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Small update.. now have four Seahorses in the tank and will probebly just leave it at that for the moment. Decided to remove the two Cardinals and they are currently on holiday in my friends tank. Reason being they definately aren't the slow eaters I thought they were, so didn't want them around while the Seahorses are still settling in eating all their food. Seahorses doing good so far. Got a rock skipper to vacuum up left over food left - he is a character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 keeping fish with horses can mean horses miss out on some food hungry or bored fish can also eat the fins off the horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91 ZERO Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yeah that is what I want to avoid. When searching for tank mates, the Cardinals came up as suitable as they were slow feeders. Not sure why, as they just don't stop eating till its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91 ZERO Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Our last Seahorse died last night It appears he got a bit too curious of the wavemaker and during its "pause" cycle poked his head in the grate - When it turned back on it pressed him against it and couldn't free himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
