Which Seahorse

[GrayJ]

I've been thinking about Seahorses for a long time and I've narrowed it down to 3. The Barbour's seahorse (Hippocampus barbouri), the Brazillian or Longsnout (Hippocampus reidi), or Spotted Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda). Which do you think I should choose and why?

They all have the same care requirements. The choice is yours based on preference.

Just get a CB speciment and you'll be all good.

I've always though barbouri were particularly cute. That's what I'd go with if I were setting up the tank, but I'm not.

Reidi are my second favorite, followed by kuda.


But +1 to pledosophy.

Your choice will be most limited on what you can find that is truly captive bred- and not "tank raised"- as what they are calling the pen raised seahorses that are taken from the wild.

There is a world of difference so please be sure to find out how the seahorses were raised.

Thank you all, I think i will go with the Kuda or Barbouri
