seahorse emergency help...

I just got to wild dwarfs yesterday and have them in a make shift setup til 2m when they go to their pico tank.

Right now they are both breathing heavy... because i only have a airstone in there, i'm concerned about lack of oxygen, but also i'm guessing the heat will play a part as well... epleting oxygen... am i right? also i am doing regular water changes to help the ammonia level.



ammonia - .10 (maybe little less)
temp - was 84 now cooling with fan to 80 and then I think it needs to be a 74 but worried about a big temp swing.

salinity - 1.019


please help soon!
 
I am no expert but they need to be cooler..74 is correct temp for seahorses.

try this site also (hope i'm not breaking rules by posting another site)

Why is there any ammonia? How long has the tank been set up? It sounds like you poured water in a tank, threw in an airstone and called it done? Do you have an established tank somewhere that you could take some live rock or sand from? Do the horses have anything to grab on to? They will get very tired of swimming and need hitching posts. Are they eating yet?
