  • Really briht lihts will change them to yellow/orange unless they have been black a long time. Then they won't change. All you can do is try, lights for coral should work. As you can see your second question is a bit more difficult. Start with a 15 and work your way up. Learn to decapsulate brine shrimp cycsts. good luck.

  • Where can I buy one? Do I need to have salt water ? I really want one!!!

  • Google seahores yourtown (replace yourtown with the name of the town in which you live) most places have a marine aquarium store, they should have seahorses.

    Yes you need a mature salt water setup. Google can help you with that too. Tank must be setup at least 6 weeks before adding animals.

    Good luck.

  • Yes, with the exception of 2 small fry tanks. Fry are sensitive to higher nitrate levels so having separate systems for them allows for easier nitrate control. Once they are 6 weeks old they seem to tolerate nitrate better. FYI: keeping the tanks cleaned of waste is a very time consuming process. :-)

  • @rsatov Hi, do you know where i can get a colorful one? Im in the usa and utah slc to be exact and i really want it as a pet plz reply thank u;)

  • @DeoDewHD Many marine aquarium supply stores sell captive bred seahorses. See above post. Google should help you find a salt water fish store in your area. You can also try seahorse.org as some people there sell some. Learn about salt water aquariums before you order any fish.

  • i brought 2 female kuda seahorses and had them for 2 weeks and havent seen them change color yet, do u know why they havent changed color?? im also going to try and breed them when i get some males, is there any tips you can give me? like what size tank for the babbies?

  • Y aren't u breeding them anymore? Tired of it?

  • SHOO BE DOO SHOOP SHOO BE DOO

  • You have a ton of comments on here so forgive me if this has been asked. I'm currently in the process of setting up a system very much like this and have access to a continuous supply of fry thru a public aquarium I work for. They have an erectus exhibit but no program to rear the fry. I have taken it on as a personal project. I would love to pick your brain further... but my 2 main questions are #1 - Are all these systems utilizing one sump (In other words, all the same water).

  • i want 2 buy 2 the boy n the girl but i dont know were
