sea horse/s for a 20 gal

[NanoDrummer09]

What or can i get a seahorse or 2 for my 20gal long? Ive read that i might be too small but i want some cause i love these guys so i just want to make sure they will be comfortable. Any kinds i could get? Would they be on in my 20L? Thanks for any info

or a pipefish maybe?

20L is too short for the normal-sized species, and probably too small too, and probably too large for dwarfs. most people say at least 18" high for the normal-sized SH species, and no larger than a 10g (with a very heavy population) for dwarfs.

what about pipefish?

Pipefish would likely do well. I personally have become a fan of US native pipefish. They can be a bit drab-colored but have interesting personalities and are fun to watch.

A pair of bluestipe pipefish might do alright in a 20 gallon as well.

I'd stay away from dragonface pipefish, they require a much larger quantity of liverock for feeding than would be possible to provide in a 20 gallon.
