Seahorses In Nano Tank?

[Aquariumfish912]

Is it possible to house seahorses, maybe dwarf seahorses, in a small nano aquarium? If so, which size of tank and how many? If not, which small fish would you reccomend? We're thinking about setting up a nano saltwater tank in my room. It's my first marine setup, so I could use some advice.

Marine, nano and seahorses! Difficulty level = high!

Ok. But is there any small fish easy to keep for the beginner marine aquarist?

Clowns, gobies, wrasses, bassists etc are all quite hardy fish. Perfect for starters.

Research is your friend!

Thank you for the tips. I'm going to do PLENTY of research.

That was basslets in the last post not bassists!

to the salty side of the forum - how big a tank are you considering?

 

[Aquariumfish912]

Thanks. Well, there was a picture of a 3 gallon saltwater aquarium in the foster and smith aquatics catalog, but that might be two small, because there was no fish in it. Maybe an 8 gallon? We are trying not to spend too much money.

I just got a 13L pico tank, let me know what you put in your one

Well, we might wait until next year to do it, because we are planning to get a 150 gallon freshwater sometime soon to replace the 55 gallon, so it might be too much work to do both at once. So you might not hear from me for while.
