ponda Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 My lfs has a really nice coloured. Orange sea horse for $75 Can i put him in my 3gal jbj pi co? Link to comment
The Aquarist Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If it really is a dwarf seahorse, h. zosterae , then yes, it would be ok, provided you give it some live baby brine shrimp every day. However, based on the color description and the price, I highly doubt that it is a dwarf seahorse. The only orange seahorse I can think of are reidis, and these would get way too big you your 3 gallon. You should do more research, as seahorses are delicate animals, with difficult care requirements. Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It is a challenging creature to keep but so rewarding at the same time. I would recommend reading everything you can and checking out the sea horse thread. If you would get pics that would be amazing Link to comment
Maniu Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 $75? I doubt it is a dwarf . Agree with voice of reason. Research more before purchase. Dwarfs don't need a lot of room. Actually, Pico tanks are optimal. Regular seahorses need at least 20-30 gallons high tanks. Link to comment
