Captive Bred Seahorses

[Fishfreak218]

Is there any stores that regularly have captive bred sea-horses in stock?
Preferably in the West Palm Beach region
thanks a lot

if your up for a drive to fort pierce, you can get some nice horses from Dan at seahorse source.

Yeah, thats where I got my seahorses from last time; just trying to find somewhere a little closer.

I kept SH for a while and IME, most LFS get their horses from one of 3 places: 1) importers, 2) ORA, or 3) Dan at seahorsesource. The problem with 1) is most have net pen raised horses which is just about the same thing as wild caught, 2) you dont really know they're from ORA - they could be wild caught and the LFS is giving you false info OR they are from ORA so they jack up the price, and 3) Dan's horses are expensive because they are truly captive bred and command a higher price, so LFS sell these for more.

I have heard a lot of good things from people on here in the past about seahorse source, thats where I plan to get mine from.
