Just a note to Club Members

This page is desingned a bit differently then the pages I usually use. I have been keeping tropical fish for nearly 4 decades. I have also on ocasion kept seahorses and other saltwater fish.

About 20 years ago I kept the dwarf seahorse. Frankly it was too much of a problem for this person, who led an active life to maintain them properly. It is possible I just did not have the commitment necessary. (As a breeder of some 5,000 angels a month I simply did not want to take the time I guess.)

I once tried to keep the larger ones. But honestly I worried about depleting them from the wild. It was clear that it was next to inpossible to keep them alive for any peroid of time.

As a director of the International Aquarium Society it has been my mission to promote resposible fish keeping.. That is I will not keep a fish that I can not even hope to give a good life to If I can't give it a near natural home that I can atleast give it a longer life. One free of the hastles of living in the wild. (Meaning, no predation, a reasonable home, decent food and some level of - well Enjoyment (if fish enjoy life as we think we do)),

To that end I personally do not keep endangered speci (unless I can perhaps breed them ) . When ever possible I keep captive bred speci. I do not keep fish who life cycle prohibits it from breeding in a captive environment. Which brings us back to the larger seahorse. I found a source of Tank raised seahorses that are said to be trained to eat frozen (or once froze, ie:not live) food. I also found a source of frozen food that is said to be the ideal food for thease seahorses. these are on the link page.

Well I am going to try them and see what happens.

I have kept other marine tanks including a modified micro reef so I should be able to set up for these seahorse with out much problem. On the left you will find pages, as I create them explaing how to set up the tank. How to feed the seahorses and links to other sites.

i will take pictures and let you know how I make out.
