The Puffer Forum

I have a porcupine puffer and a lunare wrasse. I would really love to add a seahare to my tank but I am hesitant. I'm worried the fish would pick at it and make it ink. Or I have read they can get stuck to the circulation pumps. I am aware that you have to supplement their diet if there is not enough algae. What are your thoughts?

I've never had any luck keeping those alive for very long.

I was unaware that they ink. The fish picking on it is a concern but then again you will have the same problem with anything that could be considered part of a clean up crew. The main hurdle here would be providing it a sufficient diet. Unless it is a VERY large tank it will likely not produce enough alga to sustain the hare as it grows. I have no experience with how to train these to eat prepared foods, but this would likely be nessesary for it to live a full life in home aquaria.
