Hi Guys I had no idea where to put this topic lol seems like sea horses dont really fit in fish section lol. But anyway has any one here seen fresh water sea horses in SA?
Yeah seen those a few times too they were so tiny, and apparently extremely hard to keep because they get bullied easily. I was just wondering cause i see marine sea horses often but never fresh water.
lol no wonder... But anyway this is a MUST WATCH VIDEO!!! After you watch it it will be like WTF... Freshwater & Marine Reef fish all in one tank.
Those clowns don't look very happy... Probably played with SG slowly acclimating both to get medium between the 2
That would be a ver very perfect setup to make it Brackish, I know Guppies can but the Gold fish and the Gourami I am not sure about? The Sea Horse on the other hand is NOT that easy to keep and that make me wonder a bit...
The video is only 4 min long.... Who is to say those fish made it a week in there. In particular the sea horse...... I hate seeing stuff like this, it cheeses me off.
Ah, that may not be so. There is rumor of a freshwater seahorse living in an inland lake in Myanmar but the evil Military Junta won't let Oliver Lucanus or Heiko Bleher visit. The marine fish in fresh water: the will die. That display is cruel. The inverse is true for freshwater fish. There are very few fish which can ensure both fresh and salt water. Rivulus marmoratus is one and the Zambezi shark another.
Oh for goodness sakes Now I know why I get weekly enquiries at my petshop for "freshwater nemos and seahorses" There are NO such things. Stupid video's that spread misinformation !!
guys, i did remember reading somewhere that there is a way to mix seawater and freshwater fish.. lemme try find the article..
Yes, there may be a way to mix and even acclimatize the fish to fresh water but their physiology will malfunction in the freshwater and they will die slowly and needlessly. There are very few genuinely euryhaline fish and even these rarely do well in pure soft freshwater.

Snake oil! You can definitely see those clowns are not happy Question, is a freshwater seahorse still classified as a seahorse?
Hippopotamus is a sea cow!! Well in Afrikaans anyway... But yeah, I agree with the rest. Don't keep nemo in fresh water. It's cruel. Also, the seahorse is a Hippocampus species... Close enough.
