Seahorses?
I've been thinking for a while about getting a tank just for seahorses.
Are there different types of sea horses I should be aware of? What is the smallest tank I could run for a single sea horse? I don't want to complicate things and I am planning on keeping a small tank in my office. I'd love to hear your thoughts/experience on the subject? Thanks! |

make sure to get tank raise horses that are eating prepared foods, or atleast frozen mysis.
www.seahorsesource.com/ is a good place to start.

I would check out the seahorse forum. There is also a very comprehensive article somewhere out there about their care. I think the minimum for a single horse is 30 gal, 40-50 for a pair or more. Biggest issue is keeping the tank cool, getting them to eat, and keeping them disease free. I looked into it a while back, and learned it was more than I wanted to get involved it, LOL! They are super interesting though!
Edit: Thunda beat me to it, that's the site! |

Be careful with tank raised they tend to have more weak immune systems.
