Different type of Sea Horse

[Mak71]

Can anyone tell me what's the different type of Sea Horse?

Kuda, Reidi, Dwarf, Erectus & barbouri..

Which is the easier to take care..

But it seem the Kuda & Reidi is the most popular one..

Sorry, could you explain a little more. What do you mean "different type or seahorse"?

I think most people would say that h. kuda is best starter seahorse.

I want to start a sea horse tank. So I would like to know which is the easier to start with..

Search "seahorse id" and you will find a few good profile sites.

IMO, it isn't so much choice of seahorses as it is availability, unless you have a preference. The only way to decide your preference is to research sites that list specific likenesses and differences.

Do yourself a favor and only buy seahorses that have been captive bred by a known breeder. Stay away from wild caught, tank raised, net pen raised, asian raised or LFS fish of unknown origin. I have kept and raised several species and by the far to best for beginners is H. erectus. If you keep them in a species only tank with lots of space ( one pair for 30 gallons) and keep the temps below 74 your fish will be happy and healthy. Also they are extremey attractive and big. They readily take frozen mysis and the fry are about the easiest to raise.
