Seahorses?

[Mr. Guitar]

Hey y'all!!! I've been doin a ton of research on Seahorses and have been readin on this forum for a while also. By the way sorry if there has already been a post on this subject before. What are the “easiest” Seahorses to keep and raise? What size tank should they been in? Plus...What do/should you feed them?Thanks for all your help!!!

Erectus are commonly thought to be the easiest. Kuda or redi might be good choices as well. Depends if you want to raise the fry.

Size of tank depends on size of horse. 20g is the minimum for the above species. That should hole 1 or 2 pair. Height is important so you'd want a 20T at least. 30+gallons is better.

You should feed them frozen mysis. Hikari and PE are the best brands.

BTW These are pretty basic questions that have been answered 3 billion times on this board. If you've really "been doin a ton of research" you would have already found the answer. I suggest you read the articles in the libary and the care sheets at seahorse.org

cmsargent is right on the money.

I personally think that while you can keep horses in a 20g tank it is really too small. It will be much easier to manage water quality in a 30 gallon or larger tank.
