Looking to start with Seahorses

[Rpierce]

I am thinking of putting up a small tank for some seahorses. I have read about them over the last couple of months and I think I am ready to get started. I have a 20 gallon high, that I would like to use. My question is what type of seahorses can I keep in such a small tank. I don't really care for the dwarfs. ~Nothing against anyone who keeps them. I plan on keeping some zoos in the tank as well, if possible.

Thanks for your help.

I'm no expert, but 20 g is only big enough for one pair IMO.

Here's a good place to find some answers AND SH's.

seahorse.org is EXTREMELY helpful.

You an keep a pair of reidi, kuda, erectus, barbs, comes. If you get a chiller a couple of pair of caps or brevies.

IMO there is a 29g tank that has the same footprint as a 20g tall. The seahorses will use the added vertical room and wate volume.

All of the above sites are great as is this one.
