I really think they're super cute, it was cool seeing them at the aquarium. The only info I can find is that they need cold water (so a chiller would be needed, which I admit I had no idea that chillers were so expensive! $300+), they can be trained on frozen foods, like to hide in sea grass, are usually solitary in the wild, and have short (didn't say how short) life spans. Also (from reading on the Internet) it seems like they would be near impossible to get

They are almost worth it to set up a cold tank! All except for the part about their short lifespan and impossibility to get!

Would also be great to house with seahorses, same seagrass aquascaping, of course except for the warm/cold water compatibility!!!

Cool site but it looks like it would be quite costly and difficult (have to provide your own documents/permits to allow items into Canada) to get things shipped from them.
