I purchased all of these beauties from Dan Underwood at Seahorse Source.

These delicate animals are so cool to me . Just don't want all the responsibilities of caring for them.

Good for you! Keeping adult seahorses are not hard for me to keep when I am keeping up with husbandry and water changes. Now fry...that is another story for me. I raised 15 out of 22 my first and last try. It was so much work I never wanted to do it again.

Your ponies are gourgeous. 2 of my 3 are also from Dan Underwood. He is awesome.

Thank you for your reply. I think many people want seahorses but are unsure or misled about how to keep them. I find them easier to keep than many fish and corals. I think this needs to be taught and shared with many people, including local pet stores.

I'd love to hear more. I've been too intimidated by the idea based on what I hear everywhere I go.
