I just saw these awesome critters in a documentary, know nothing about them really. What do you seahorse people think about them? Never heard of them in the hobby so I assume they're some ultra fragile specialty species like sea dragons. Still such a beautiful fish

Ive never seen one in a store so I did a bit of research and it turns out on occasion they come to the us or canada but most die within months of getting them. Which is pretty sad because it would be cool to have a tank of these guys.

Problem with animals like this is nobody wants to try keeping them because nobody wants to risk the life of something so beautiful
