The centerpiece of this tank is the amazing Seahorse. Seahorses are quiet animals and greatly prefer a quiet tank. The Atlantic Seahorse is among the more easily kept and adapts well to aquarium life. The greatest cause of failure of wild caught Seahorses in aquariums is getting them to adapt to tank fed foods. For this reason, purchasing tank raised Seahorses which are already eating frozen (Mysis Shrimp) and/or flake foods is your best bet.
