I have an established 125g reef tank. It is 6 feet long and holds many different types of coral and one small, shy angel. I am looking to introduce seahorses into this tank and I need some advice on where to find the best. Thanks, Monica
 
Check out www.sharkeys.com. They usually have them for sale and they look awesome (I saw them in person last time I was there, they are bigger than you think). I don't see them on their site now but send them an e-mail and ask. They are in Lake Villa.

Another option may be to contact this member "yahutch"

I see her in the Chicago forum and she knows her seahorse stuff. She's in Wonder Lake, IL

I think she has sold seahorses to people before but I'm not sure.

Her Hobby Experience: 5yrs fresh , 3yrs reef
Current Tanks: 135 gal sps/clam tank , 65 gal hex softy/seahorse tank (reidi ) , 75 gal softy/seahorse tank ( erectus ), 35hex seahorse juvie growout, 29g pipefish juvie growout , and sumps ,and refuges , and culture stations , oh my !
Interests: reefkeeping , gardening , and big dogs
 
I was wrong, Sharkeys has them under the inverts section, I was looking under fish. I tossed the idea of a horse tank but I don't think I want that right now.

I'd contact yahutch and pick her brain.
 
unable to load the Sharkey's Reef catalog.

error of "CGI Error

thanks

thanks

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I did try to open sharkysreef.com but it won't open. And the other link........... too bad I bought my new helicopter last week :)
My quest continues, Monica
 
I was on sharkys website earlier this morning, it must be down right now.

With the new Chopper you can go just about anywhere to pick up your seahorses :)
 
You can find quality tank bred seahorses of many species at www.seahorsesource.com Dan is excellent. I personally would get all sexed seahorses... as chances are, if you don't and you plan on stocking a 125 gallon with them... you are going to get hundreds of babies. Get females, or all males, preferably tropical species like reidi or kuda or erectus because its a reef tank... keep temps under 76 and you should be fine.
