Cross Breeds - can fish get along with sea horses?

can fish get along with sea horses?

i have two salt water fish clown fish & miniature "Dori", i was wondering if sea horses can be with them in a tank because i'm doing a project with my friend and thought it might be nice to get a male and female to watch their actions. Do you think that the seahorse will survive with the fish?

good question but i don't know
i don't now but i dosn't sound wise...
Some do ask your local pet shop.Some will hurt them others make great pairs.
I'm assuming they would considering they live amongest each other in the wild. Try it, just keep an eye on them and if you see that the fish are becomming aggresive toward the sea horses just remove the sea horses from the tank and get them a tank of their own or buy a tank screen divider. It's just a see-through plastic screen that you can put in your tank to divide the tank into two seprate living areas. I used one in my tank because I had a beta fish and it was attacking my other fish...it worked great and you can buy them at your local pet store pretty cheap. Good luck!!
THEY WILL SERVIVE AS LONG AS THE FISH DON'T TRY TO PUT A SADDLE ON THEM
Yes. Sea horses are found in the sea which is salt water. They swim side by side with different fish, why not yours? They may have to jockey for position- sorry!
it depends are they agressive, i think it's mostly related on that...if they are, no, if they're not, yes! :)
it will survive if it is big enough from the fishes' mouth. please give alot of stone, corals your seahorse can cling and hid on in case of emergency.
They should be ok while the fish are young but as they mature they will most likley become aggressive to the seahorse, here is a site that is more detailed on seahorses and what can go with them http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/tankmates.shtml
Not unless you have a VERY large tank with lots of hiding places (200+ gal), and even then the tang (dory) is a BIG longshot to kill you sea horses. Sea horse do best in a species specific tank (not necessarily large) and are considered difficult to keep. The only fish that don't bug them are dragonets and gobies.
It's not a good idea. They are territorial. Your seahorses will die. If not from direct aggression them from starvation as the other fish out-compete for food.
NO you cant. sea horse tend to fasten themselves to plants by tail and wait for food to swim past(they prefer live food) problem is other fish in tank snap up food first and the seahorse can go hungary.
