Advanced Level: Seahorses
The trade of these phenomenal creatures is regulated by international law, however, it is not prohibited to own them. You will want to look for those that are captive bred as opposed to “tank-raised,” “net pen raised,” or those caught from the wild. These graceful, fragile creatures readily eat up mysis and brine shrimp, however, they eat a lot.
It can be difficult to balance the right amount of food to fill them with while not polluting your tank with excess. Seahorses do best in a species-specific tank without live reef setups, where their slow movements and need for gentle currents aren’t influenced by fellow tankmates.
