cool catalina goby!! I have always loved those! I remember the first TFH magazine I bought, I got because it had one of those on the cover!
Just out of curiosity, what temp do you maintain your tank at?

A catalina goby is a temperate fish, and won't last long at 72 degrees. Unscrupulous or ignorant LFS's tell people they can handle warm water, but they can't. In the wild, the monthly average temperature where they live (southern California) ranges between about 57 (February) and 70 (August) with a few days at or slightly above 72. They can "handle" it in the sense that they won't immediately die, but it really taxes them, and they don't last as long, not to mention that it's not a nice thing to do to a fish.
You could take it back to the fish store, but they'd just sell it to the next guy who doesn't know any better, and maybe his tank will be 80 degrees, so if you can't find anyone with a cold water tank (<= 65 F), you might as well keep it and see how long it lasts. |

So just to squeeze as much useful data out of you as possible, is your tank really at 72 all the time (plus or minus a degree), or does it vary with the seasons? Do you have a heater to enforce a minimum temp? What temp? Do you have a chiller to enforce a maximum temp? What temp? You've only kept yours for 8 months, so the more conclusive test was your friend's tank. What can you tell us about how his temp was controlled and whether it changed through the year? |

Instead, buy from a hobbyist who is raising theirs, or from a place like seahorsesource.com.

Local stores are not the best place to buy seahorses from.
Most don't sell true captive bred.

Mattkd5: how do the seahorses and brains do together? I bought a beautiful favia frag at MACNA and then realized later that maybe it wasn't the best idea because I'm starting a seahorse tank. I haven't finished building the system yet, and won't have seahorses for at least 6-9 months from now, so I'm trying to research tankmates. Seahorse.org gave favias a 1 threat level, which isn't bad. How do they react around the feeders? How long have you had the brain and the seahorses together and which was there first? Thanks for any advice!
