jessie83 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is it true that you can not buy these fish? If a person could buy one or two where would I go? What kind of tank do they live in? Size? Fresh Or Salt water? any way thank you for your time? Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pier Pressure Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Seahorses are saltwater and very delicate. They eat just about constantly so produce a lot of fatty waste so your water quality has to be top of the line. They are not the greatest tankmates as most other animals will out-perform them for food so the seahorses will not get enough. I would not suggest getting seahorses unless you are an experienced saltwater fishkeeper. I know that Wiis in Calgary had some the last time I was in there. I have been researching them and I would suggest doing a lot of reading before you take this step. They are tough to keep alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pier Pressure Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I saw the ones at Gold Aquariums last night. They are not for sale as they are going to be using them as breeders. I really love seahorses but am going to reef-keep for quite some time before I go into such delicate territory myself. Of course now TELUS has sea horses all over their advertising so that should bring on a bunch of people buying them who have no clue what they are doing. I hate when that happens.

merryj99 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 They have them in Aquarium Illusions, They are very intriguing, and I have been reading a lot about them lately, We have the extra tank that is already set up and has been running for 4 years now, we just upgraded about 8 months ago and have never taken the old tank down. Not sure if we should make it a reef tank or a sea horse tank..........or just take it down..... They are beautiful creatures though.
