Now that's the way to have adult discussions. Good to see that friendly disagreements and opinions are back. Good info both Bev & Paul. Paul, if you ever do get those dwarfs, I'd probably drive out to Alberta to buy some from you.

Thanks.

And to everyone, yes once I find a new source and get these little guys again, I will let people know there are some available in Canada.

Anthony, thanks. I have never really disagreed with anyone, Bev knows her stuff and I have had personal experiences with Dwarfs. I will be the first to admit my attempts at keeping kudas and hysterix were dismal failures and will not try them again. But my dwarfs were doing great for 5-6 months and they were breeding (Icouldnt get the knack down for the frys in time) until my first attack of cyano. The seahorses never fully recovered even after being transfered to a different tank with a new sterile environment (meaning no cyano). They didnt breed again, then started passing on one by one.

One other point to bare in mind those interested in dwarf seahorses, their natural lifespan is only 1.5-2 years in wild, 1.5-3 years in captivity.

thanks
