Shall be gettin snails this weekend. Variety of turbos, astrea, cerith etc. My shop has got soem H.Reidis in, which are taking liver brine but i wont get them till they take frozen mysis etc. So will wait till the week after till i get them
Today i found a slug like hitchhiker. Greyish balck with spikes. Ive caught it and put it in a floating trap thing, until i know its SH friendly. Any ideas? Will try to get pics later
With the C.profilera ive ordered, shall i plant it in the sand so it willl grow over the LR?

Wow, i havent updated this in a while
Since then, ive had a lovely yellow clwon goby for 3 weeks or so. But today, i got a lovely pair of CB H.Reidi's
Lovely yellow colour. They guy gave me some river shrimp to put in with them. So i put them in a few mins after the SHs and they gobbled them up...they make a clicking noise when they eat!
Ill post the pics up when the lights come on

Hope you don't mind but I'm using your pics as part of a long term battle to persuade my girlfriend I should be allowed to turn my nano into a seahorse tank once I've got a new reef.

It's for a good casue!

 

[connorsbala]

Yeah sure! il get some more up later

 

[connorsbala]

Yes... and unless I'm mistaken, cooler than that. I've read about 72 many times. That's about 22 C

 

[SkiFletch]

Wow, nice lookin seahorses

 

[connorsbala]

Wow I havent updated this in ages!
Alots changed...theres another feather duster in there lol!
Theyve been eaing great, never go hungry!
I have been on holiday in France for a week, and came home today to discover a tank full of babies!
Ill get some pics up later of the tank and lil SHs

 

[connorsbala]

Ive added some xenia and yellow polyps this week...aswell as the nicest, well mannered black percula clown. He's great, doesnt disturb them on bit. He doesnt steal their food or anything. I squirt some mysis to him, then to the seahorses. Once he has 5 pieces he's full I think he's so well suited to them as he was in a seahorse tank at the LFS
Ok..picture time!
Full tank shot

The female
