Does anyone know if there is anywhere in edmonton or area to buy a dwarf seahorse?

Good luck,

2 years ago there were a few shipments that magically appeared in canada, none have been seen since. I know the only ones to arrive in alberta are now in fish heaven; maybe those that appeared in ontario / bc may have faired better.

I havent ever seen them here in BC, and I've been looking. Let me know if you find a breeder in Alberta....

I've seen them once at a store.
Since they didnt know what to feed them I doubt they made it.

Yeah they are extremely difficult to keep alive due to thier need of daily feedings of newly hatched live BBS.

On a side note, you should not keep just one. One dwarf seahorse would need a 1-gallon tank, and probebly wouldn't be happy solo. A group of 5-10 is best kept in a 5 gallon tank.
