I just peeked at my ponies and their tummies are fat! Today, I'll add a couple of small rocks and the tiniest bit of large aragonite gravel in one of the corners. I'm doing daily water changes with water taken from my main tank to help them get acclimated. I hope to move them in there maybe a week from today. There was a little bit of stress at the very beginning but once I moved them to a bare tank it has been very easy. The hardest part is NOT falling head-over-heals for these babies! They are so very cute!

I hope reading this will help those of you getting your pony tanks ready! I've got ponies and it kind of took me off guard a little bit.

I'm so glad it's working so far Cath! Talk about SLOOOOW acclimating -- with the water AND environment LOL

I, sadly, have broken down my 45tall tank and put it up on craigslist. I might be taking a financial hit this summer, so for now, I'm holding off on the ponies and just concentrating on the 125....but once I've got that tank fully stocked and stable, I will pursue my pony tank!! It just won't be happening this summer like I planned.

In the meantime, I will just gawk at Cath's ponies, so you better keep posting pics to keep us all drooling!!

how fun!! I want to get some sea horses, I have the tank waiting to move into the new house b/4 starting any new projects, were did you get them and do they eat live or frozen for you?

 
if I can't live by the ocean I might as well have a piece of it with me all the time

I get my horses from Seahorse Source, the ultimate place for captive bred seahorses. if you are looking into getting horses it is extremely important you get captive bred horses! Seahorse Source is highly recommended by ORA and they stand behind their ponies.

Pete Giwonja offers a free online seahorse class. If you are thinking of horses you should contact him. He's the consultant for Seahorse.com - Seahorse, Sea Life, Marine Life, Aquafarm Sales, Feeds and Accessories - Home

I've seen a couple forums talking about seahorses including Seahorses.org and they all reccommend seahorse source. Love your new additions!

I will look into that thanks, we are planning on moving into our new house I'm hoping by the end of March and once I get the new 90 gal set up I'm going to look into starting up the seahorse tank, what does your set up look like? how big , do you have a sump, all that kinda stuff
