Keeping a Ceph and Seahorses in one tank?

[Kristof]

Hello Forum,

i live in Germany (there are no ceph-forums). I have got a 400 gal. reef-tank and a second one of 80 i use for my seahorses. The tank setup seems to be nearly the same like an octopus tank.

My Quastion:
I would like to know if someone has kept an octopus together with Hippocampus Reidi and Hippocampus Comes in one tank before?

Please excuse my bad English, i´m trying hard!

Looking forward to your replies and thanks a lot!

Best wishes

Kristof

My immediate thought would be that seahorses will probably make great food.

I agree with Fini, an octopus would think of those seahorses as little delicious snacks. And welcome!

Wilkommen, Kristof!

This question has been discussed a couple of times - try searching 'seahorse' on this site and see what comes up. This thread talks about what can live with an octopus, and this thread also talks about tankmates. We also have a discussion going on about who keeps or has kept both cephs and seahorses, although not necessarily in the same tank.

Hope that helps!

Hi Forum,

thanks a lot. Your posts are very helpfull.

I think i will not try it out.

My kids will kill me if someone i put in the tank will kill the seahorses.

So i have to talk to my wife, to setup another tank (that will be my death too )


Best wishes

Kristof,

If you tell your wife the new tanks is because of the kids she may allow you to survive
