Hi All,

I began working with seahorses in the 1960’s, and remain both fascinated and frustrated by them.
In 2001, I wrote a book about the Natural History and Care of Seahorses. As I intended, many readers were discouraged, due to the demands involved in their care and the fragile state of wild populations. Today, I am happy to report that captive-born individuals of several species are regularly available, and that the task of feeding them (a major stumbling block) has been greatly simplified. Still, they are not ideal for every aquarist. Following are some important points to consider before you decide to keep these intriguing but challenging fishes.

Seahorses are such beautiful creatures, I think it'd be amazing to have a saltwater tank with some. I don't see myself braving their difficult care regiment to do so though :p

It isnt difficult if you buy captive bred.
They are pretty simple actually. Just dont place them with fish that will compete for food as they are slow eaters.
