Optimal Lighting Requirements for Eelgrass in Syngnathid Aquariums Introduction Eelgrass (Zostera spp.) forms the foundation of a natural habitat for seahorses and pipefish in captivity. As a true marine plant (not an algae), eelgrass has specific lighting requirements for photosynthesis, growth, and long-term survival. This note details the optimal lighting parameters for maintaining healthy eelgrass in a syngnathid display aquarium measuring 48" × 24" × 24" with a water depth of 18-20 inches. ...

Optimal Tank Requirements for Hippocampus erectus Introduction Hippocampus erectus (Lined Seahorse) requires thoughtful tank setup to thrive in captivity. This species naturally inhabits eelgrass beds in lagoons with gentle currents, which we aim to recreate in a home aquarium system for 8 adult specimens plus periodic offspring. Tank Size Considerations Volume Requirements For a group of 8 adult H. erectus (which can reach 6-8 inches in length), the following guidelines apply: ...
