i've been doing so much research lately i'm giving myself present headaches, hehe.
i will keep doing research even after i have them, as i do with all my animals. (except guppies, did too much of that research and it's all the same stuff)
the guy is 1-2 inches in size. he will be in a 50 gallon. that will be enough for him. as soon as i think he is too big for it i will upgrade. we may be moving within the next year or two. maby sometime her can live in a big big container, even bigger then what teh other guy said
anyway, i'll keep doing research and stuff. but could someone correct me if i'm wrong about the temperature differences? if i keep it tropical like but not too cold for the seahorses or too warm for the horseshoe crab they should be fine shouldn't they? i will also have more tanks for the young seahorses and fry.
everywhere i've seen so far says horseshow crabs do good in around 70 or so degrees farenhite. the seahorses, in a tropical aquarium says it should be about 74 - 78 degrees. so if i kept it at around 74 or maby a bit higher, the crab shouldn't be bothered by it would he? i wouldn't think the crab would be affected by slightly warmer waters. because sometimes in there natural habitats it gets warm.
anyway, i'm rambbling again. please correct me if i'm wrong about the above.
btw, anyone else evr read saltwater aquariums for dummies?
I'm obsessed with seahorse.org too
