pledosophy Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 So a few friends and I have been working on this for awhile. Take a peek.

JManrow Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Excellent article, Kevin. (rock2)The threat levels seem to be well researched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 very well done. It makes me want to think about keeping seahorses. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thats a great list. One of my cubes is going to be a seahorse tank so this will really help me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I did notice that you have true percs, but not false percs. Is the picture of the perc truely a perc? It looks like an ocellaris. I thought that the true perc has an orange ring around the eye, and the ocellaris has a black ring around the eye. Maybe I was looking at this too closely too early in the morning (before my first cup of coffee). I still think that this is a great web page that you put together. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 I'm not the best at clown ID. As far as I know that is a perc, true or false, IDK. I would consider both a 3 and not really keep either with a seahorse IMO/IME unless you have another home to put them in. IME with the clowns they are fine at smaller sizes and then get more aggressive. Clowns are fairly aggressive and tend to defend there turf. Can be problematic with seahorses. There is also some feeding issues that need to be carefully worked out IME. If someone could confirm the Perc I will make the updates next time around. We are already working on the next update, will include some more fish, more corals, and a brief little description about the various fish and the best ways to keep them with seahorses. Our goal is to make it the best compatibility chart for seahorses anywhere, it's a hefty goal, but we're up for it. I'm glad it could hep someone. The threat levels seem to be well researched. Ya we hooked it up. There is a lot of research in there and ancedotal reports from a few thousand people. You can't imagine how much fun it was researching and organizing that.

Although it is difficult to see if that is an 11th dorsal spine in the picture, as the dorsal fin extends slighty beyond the orange coloration, true percs tend to have more of a black bordering the white bands. It looks like A. ocellaris to me, too. A. percula may be a bit more aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
