Thanks for posting
Don't get me wrong, they are a pipe dream of mine also. But it is just that, a pipe dream.

Right now I have 8 H. reidi, 1 H. comes & 60 + H. zosterae. I did my research before I bought them. Everything I thought I knew about them were slightly outdated. But I took advice from people here & on sh.org. now I feel it is ok for me to give advise or feedback based on the 2.5 years that I have been keeping them.

I really want the H. abdominalis: pot belly seahorse. But I know that I can not take care of them correctly. I do not want a large tank or a chiller. So I will not own one until I can meet their need & not shoe horn them to meet my needs.

So Brettsreef, do some research & take the plunge. They are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE I really enjoy taking care of them & look forward to coming home to them.

Kind Regards,

Tim
