Just wondering, can dwarf and larger sized seahorses be mixed in the same tank? Also, can one keep a Dragonet, Callionymidae sps., with seahorses or will one win out by depleting the pod population?

Thanks

Dwarfs and larger size seahorses do not do well with each other. This is because of the filter we generally use can suck them up. Also there are some critters that may be in Live rock and sand that can pick on or eat the dwarfs as well as shrimps and fish.Food issue is generally not as important because the pod population could feed a couple of them.
