If i would like to put seahorses in my tank, what fish are recommended to mix with them ? From what i read, clown and tang not suitable to mix with seahorse, because seahorse is slow eater, and clown and tang are fast swimmer, food will finished before the seahorse eat, and cause seahorse starve to dead, is there any fishes can mix with seahorse ?
*
i was interested to having searhorses b4.. but after i asking my LFS guy i just giv up this idea.. he said if u wan u can have it .. but seahorse's mouth is too small so very hard to eat & slow moving .. they probably having eating problem and stand for bout 2 months then will die already ..then i do search from some website saying better have a seahorses only tank if u really wan them..
*correct me if i am wrong*
