Dwarf Seahorse

[fishie_bird]

I just found out about a dwarf seahorse! I have never heard of them before, supposevly they only get like a couple centameters big, and they say you can keep them in as little as 2 1/2 galls, although I personally wouldnt do that, I would do AT LEAST a 5 gall, and they are SO CUTE! I found out about them in a Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine I got for free from the manager at petsmart cause Im their so offten and I ALWAYS talk to her, so anyways, ya! What does anyone know about them, cause this might be an excuse to set up my first marine tank, prob. not but hey..... you never know!

A Nano/Pico marine tank with a seahorse is not the way to go for a first attempt at saltwater fishkeeping IMO

Keeping a Nano (and to a greater extent a Pico) tank running is a great challenge and requires a lot of research, dedication and patience along with a very good knowledge of water husbandry. Seahorses, while not the worst fish for a beginner, are not recommended for a first fish as they require a strict diet and feeding regime of meaty foods which, without the knowledge of how to control it, will play havoc with water quality especially in a tank that small.
