cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 True enough it's amazing, very delicate graceful animals. I got 2 females from Laura who was AWESOME. Very thankful and looking forward to jumping into seahorse keeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Question: They seem not interested in mangroves. I think my power head is to much?? Please give mr your advice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looking good! Very pretty colors you picked out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Laura helped me pick, I loved the ones with the (celli)? Horns, one has them and the other one looks like algae. They're awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Laura helped me pick, I loved the ones with the (celli)? Horns, one has them and the other one looks like algae. They're awesome Cirri? Yeah, they are SO cool! My female has teeny tiny ones at the top of her head... perhaps some of the fry will have them as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sorry, cirri! I will take a pic of mine for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 So cool! Little horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 They're bigger than they look in the pic (if that even makes sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Laura: the girls are doing good - i am thinking the one with the Cirri is a bit more shy, or is still transitioning due to the fact that she loves going behind the rock where i can barely see her! the female with the "algae" skin is usually dancing, which the best way i can describe is doing the "kangaroo" where it literally jumps, curls its tail, and springs off it again! it is such a delight. Brooks: thanks for the help - i am looking into the panorama deal, did you get yours at aquatek? or did you find a superior price elsewhere? also - i will most likely start cycling a 30-40g tank as the 15g really doesn't do these beautys justice, and since they are relatively young (or so it seems to me, and since Laura told me one of them was ) i know they will grow a bit larger, and giving them room to play and adding more is my main concern right now.

Brooks Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I did pick mine up at AquaTek, Collin. I think that is the best price you will find locally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well Brooks and others, my brothers old t5ho fixture (2 months old!)) fell into his tank 2 weeks ago. We put it into the garage to possibly fix it some day. Before buying a new tank I plugged in the lights, and they work like brand new! So I will be using t5 with stunners supplementing. I added a "very fine" sand to help cycle, 20 pounds for 23 bucks best deal I could get and I will also be adding some of my water/sand for bacteria. The LR will be moved when the horses are (after I make sure no nitrate or ammonia spikes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I have 4 stunners over my tank and am very happy with them. They work great as dawn/dusk lighting (I also have MH which over power them when on). I have two blue and two ultraviolet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Awesome. I will be using a pretty normal t5 fixture, think they'd go well with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think they should. I did get the reflectors for each of them, as I had read they help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've heard that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 My ponies are very happy. This is a pic from a day or two ago, she actually has lightened up in color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cMidd Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 So-thought I'd post before bed. The female with the cirri has actually changed color! She is now almost a white/silver base with a dark gray "secondary" color. It is gorgeous...blends in to well though. The larger female has now effectively adopted the look of coraline algae and my dragons breath. A breathtaking combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
