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

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. :smile: This thread talks about what can live with an octopus (http://www.tonmo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5653&highlight=seahorse), and this thread also talks about tankmates (http://www.tonmo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8391&highlight=seahorse). We also have a discussion going on about who keeps or has kept both cephs and seahorses (http://www.tonmo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8391&highlight=seahorse), 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 :grin: )


Best wishes

Kristof,

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