Default Sea horses...

I've never kept any marines myself, but if I did I'd want some sea horses.

Has anybody got any or ever kept any?

I have thought about it and looked into it.

The hardest thing is getting the feeding right otherwise they are fairly easy to keep.

The best bet is to go for tank bred specimens that are feeding on frozen food that makes life a lot easier. Otherwise you have to cultivate live food the other thing is that they need to trickle feed through out the day having a set up with a large miracle mud filter would be very beneficial.

sounds like a job for a more experienced keeper, once i've done my apprenticeship with the trops, some day I'd love to keep some, but for now it's just a pipe dream!

I was surprised how few people seem to keep them though, their amazing to watch
