Average Price

What is the average price of black sea horses??

Depends on where you are, where you're ordering from. Horses being sold by color isn't always good because horses tend to change colors to their environment. I have purchased all of my horses in Canada, and prices have ranged from 79 - 149 EACH. Then if you are having them flown to you, you must also pay the freight (about 60 bux with tax) on top of your order.

I have 13 horses right now, all different variations of yellow, with 2 exceptions...one is orange and one is mottled black/white.

Where are you thinking of purchasing from? What kind of horses are they and are they captive bred? I know of a great place that I got mine from, got to hand pick them too (on an out of town trip) and that was the best experience.

It really does vary quite a bit. Here in the milwaukee area, I see them ranging from $40 - $80 retail.

I too am getting mine in canada, Windosor Ontarion, they are called black sea horses, $119.00, and they are caught from the wild

Well, if it were me, I wouldn't purchase wild caught. I would wait a bit to see if you can locate some captive bred horses near you or have them shipped to you. My horses are pigs. Here's a pic of them just as I'm starting to feed them.

your horses are beautiful! I was i had the time money experiance (etc.) to have a 90G seahorse tank. But until I get all of those I just love pictures!

By the time you factor in the meds needed to treat the WC's, the tanks and time to do so, and te cost of keeping livefood ($10 to $20 a week per horse American dollars, some WC's never go to frozen food so that $10 a week could last for 6 or seven years) CB's that readily eat frozen mysis are always a bargin.
