![]() Well when you do they are actually cheap to keep compared to most other salt water ventures. They don't need/like large tanks, require little water movement, no special lighting and prefer no other tank mates. I kept them for about 3 years in a 20g tank I had laying around, an Aquaclear HOB filter and an old incandescent light canopy that I put Home Depot daylight CFL bulbs in. They love plastic plants to hang onto and a few snail to keep things clean. That's about it! It is one of the few things my wife never complained about as she loved them as much as I do.

![]() Actually, best chances of success come with minimum 29g tank size for one pair, and an additional 15g for each additional pair. Anything you can do to improve water quality is also a BIG plus.
Most seahorse keepers nowadays have higher flows like 10X to 20X as long as there is hitching available in areas of low, medium and high for them to choose, and, as long as no flow is strong enough to push the seahorses up against something and be damaged. The seahorses Incredible is selling are very nice. I've seen them a few times now. |

![]() For those considering purchase of some of these, the breeder is VERY conscientious about the seahorse hobby and dotes on the growing of these fry to juveniles, spending hours each day before/after work to keep them in top shape.
I doubt you will find better quality stock in other sources. |

![]() They'll get to 16 to 18 cm and the maximum recorded length, up to 2004 at least, is 19 cm.
It likely will take about 2 yrs from birth to get to maximum size as the last growth stages are slower than the earlier growth. I've had a couple that ended up runts and never got larger than about 10 cm but that is not common. |
