Seahorses have special requirements above those usually associated with keeping marine fish.
They require low water flow (no wave makers) and do best in a purpose designed species tank with decor that provides plenty of places for them to hook their tails to.
Seahorses should not be housed with very fast moving fish as they will struggle to compete for food, choosing tank mates if any at all should be done very carefully. When it comes to feeding most seahorses will take frozen mysis, however, at times may require live mysis shrimp to stimulate them, in our opinion the use of live mysis is helpful in keeping them active.
Seahorses are social animals and seem happiest in pairs or small groups, of which the sex is not overly important. If a male and female are present it is common for them to breed in captivity although it is difficult to raise the fry.
We offer an 'Arrive Alive' guarantee on all corals, critters, fish and invertebrates. If they do not arrive alive then subject to these terms and conditions you can request a replacement or refund. We guarantee our livestock will arrive alive, there is no reason why it should arrive any other way due to the care and professional way in which they are packaged with heatpacks, polystyrene boxes and all other necessary precautions considered for the species we are shipping.
