Sad Day: Mandarin/Seahorse Training

[Suzanne Lynn]

I got my mandarin from AquaMart for I think $25. He's thin but I think he burns a lot of calories swimming around all the time lol He's always picking at the rocks. He eats cyclopleeze, tigger pods and prepared brine shrimp. I would really like a pair of seahorses!

You can always trade your mandarin for a couple of my dwarves (unfortunately I only have females available at the moment)! lol or if you want a pair of ingens you can always donate to a kreisel for me jk

Hehehe I like my mandarin lots, but when you do have a little seahorse pair let me know

For sure. I will do a full thread announcement so keep an eye out if I forget to contact you.

i trained my mandarin to eat mysid shrimp buy puting him in a 10 gal tank with circular flow and added frozen mysid they swirled around the rock and he started eating them within 5 minutes he thought they were alive i would assume

good Idea! so a bit of a current to make the things move around? does he eat things that dont move now though?

Have you ever bought from these guys?

Or do you know anything about them?
I have been considering a 125g grass zone tank which would include seahorses and pipefish.

Unfortunately he died due to a heater malfunction after he learned it was a food scource he sucked them up as soon as he saw them but he also hovered over every rock in the tank sucking up all the pods too he was pretty fat

O man I wouldhave been sooo bummed but its a huge plus that he was able to get fat
