I also dream of a wall-sized aquarium - my husband and I have plans to build one into a house someday. Our only disagreement is whether it will hold seahorses (my choice) or lion fish (his preference) since they can't live together.<br /><br />Maybe we'll need two walls...Susan Spannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770560542416086762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-54292412972006145692015-02-15T21:45:32.639-05:002015-02-15T21:45:32.639-05:00I started with fresh water, and like any addiction...I started with fresh water, and like any addiction, it grew over time...<br /><br />Fortunately, salt water is a LOT easier now than it was even a few years ago. I can buy my water pre-mixed, and only have to do a little chemistry to keep it going properly. The biggest time-sink is keeping the seahorses fed, because they have to eat three times a day.<br />Susan Spannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770560542416086762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-38377550487880195062015-02-15T21:44:23.622-05:002015-02-15T21:44:23.622-05:00Thank you!

As a child, my brother had seahorses and I was fascinated by them. When I was a daydreaming college student--way too often--I'd sit in class and doodle away at creating my dream house: built underground into a hillside with its rear wall a massive sea-water aquarium. <br /><br />Alas, that's not come to pass, though I guess you could say the spirit of the sea horse has stayed with me, for there are stables at my farm and I live by the sea. Trouble is, they're in different parts of the world. :(Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-16312354764372133282015-02-15T05:39:09.260-05:002015-02-15T05:39:09.260-05:00

Somehow I thought seahorses would graze peacefully in a languid cream tea and cucumber sandwich kind of way instead of their real life Sawney Bean tactical deployment. .... Anyway, my new book has a huge aquarium featured in it, which houses the intriguingly named Prince Axel Wonder Fish. <br />Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-86851546985869712172015-02-15T05:26:57.372-05:002015-02-15T05:26:57.372-05:00Susan, I have met (cyberilly--a word that should e...Susan, I have met (cyberilly--a word that should exist) those fascinating creatures on the your Facebook page.
