Hey people. I was just looking at some of your pictures you have of the Sea Horses and they are pretty cool little creators. I love how they rap their tales around anemones or anything on the bottom of the sea bed. And their small little fins, and how they kind of bunch around when they swim. They are pretty neat to look at. I want to get a salt water tank.

Recommended readingTo anyone considering purchasing seahorses because they "look cool" - please do your research! Seahorses require very exacting water parameters, usually have specific diets and can be finicky eaters. If you are not prepared to spend $800-1000 on the proper marine set-up and environment, please do not purchase! Also, there are a few captive-bred options on the market available in most parts of the U.S., which tend to be hardier and acclimate much better to an aquarium than wild-caught seahorses. Not only will this improve your chances of successfully keeping these fish, it will also protect wild populations, which are on the decline.
