Does anyone raise dwarf seahorses

[DABruecker]

I am thinking about setting a tank for dwarf seahorses. I was just wondering if anyone has these, if so...what are your thoughts on set-up, up-keep, - etc.

you need to hatch live brine daily, and lots of it... you really shouldn't have anything in there with them, keep it a species only tank. No crabs.

Thanks! That is a really cool forum! Very informative. However, I have not noticed that anyone local carries the dwarf SH. Where would you recommend attaining them?

Thanks for the advice!

I know you can find them on ebay, but I've never seen them in any local stores, no doubt due to their specific needs. Feel free to ask at the org, someone should be able to give you a few suppliers. Please do your research on seahorses tho, they do require somewhat different care, we just don't want things to go bad and have you give up on them! They're very interesting critters once you're established.

I would never "jump" into anything. I do a lot of research before I do anything new. This is just something I am looking into for the future.
