Sea horses and mandarin - 50g

evilelvis · #1 01/03/2007, 10:25 PM

Thinking about setting up a sea horse tank. I have a standard 50g acrylic tank that will become available soon once I move my corals out of it. I was thinking of setting up live rock and a crap load of chaeto and caulpera from my existing tank which has tons of pods. I was thinking of maybe 2 horses and a mandarin. Would this be ok food wise? Sea horses get frozen/live stuff and the mandarin gets the pods.

Should be cool IME.

Refugiums are great tools for manderins as well. Depends on how much liverock you have.

yeah this is basically going to be a display refugium. I really like the deep green of macro algae.

I have a pair of Erectus and the Mandarin is no bother to them. The horses actually like to watch the M and they all eat the same frozen food out of the same shell. :-)
My M was also born with only one eye working. I was blessed with a healthy eater. (pic in gallery)
