tank raised sea horses

[Sergio1]

does anyone know of a good site to purchase tank-raised sea horses? thanks

 

[ebaybrad]

the best one is oceanrider.com

go to www.seahorse.org and check it out there. The breeder for FFE is there, and Ocean Rider has gotten a bad reputation of late.

I'll 2nd the thing on OR.. I just got some, and they are TINY.. maybe 1/3'd the size she originally shipped.

I have a quick question -

can horses be kept in a community tank?

I have a 135 and am going tank-raised (and non aggressive fish) only.

I would like Banggai's, perculas, maybe an orchid dottyback.

Would horses survive?

The thing you want to remember about seahorses is that they are very slow and methodical eaters. I have heard someone kept a bangaii with their horses and hasn't had a problem. The clowns may out compete them. I'm sure others will give you more advice than I am able to as I just started keeping horses. If you go to seahorse.org and look in the tankmates section and maybe do a search on the kinds of fish you are looking to keep, I'm sure you will find post from people who have had experience with combining the 2.
