Easy or hard is only determined by the individual considering the designation. Some will say one but others will say the opposite.
IMO, it's not something to be taken lightly though as seahorses have very specific needs compared to other marine fish.
You aren't going to learn all you need in one thread though so start with the information here and then just to get other perspectives, you can go to Tami's site https://fusedjaw.com/ and check out the Article Categories. You can also go to http://seahorsesource.com/?page_id=781 which is Dan Underwood's site and he is probably the best known and most helpful breeder I've come across in my 15 or so years with seahorses.
In addition to these there are Facebook pages but I find them frustrating because it's so hard to find anything other than recent postings. Might just be because I'm old and not too computer literate.
A 30g tank would be suitable for just one pair of standard sized seahorses and if you can add a sump to the set up it will make it much more forgiving.
Best additional item to add would be a quality protein skimmer that is rated for a minimum of 3 or 4 times actual tank volume.
Yep, research.Ok thanks, so what I’m getting from this is that They are different and for some people can be hard and some can be easy and that I need to do more research, correct?
Yep, research.
Email seahorse.com, it's the Ocean Rider facility in HI. They have a free course on seahorse care they will send you with no obligation to buy anything from them.
I got access to the course but a seahorse tank was vetoed before I started it [emoji849]
My wife said no to a seahorse tank so I haven't kept them. Ocean rider will send you a pdf with tons of info, they just ask that you don't share it.Ok thanks! I’ll check it out! Is it an online course thing?

They are not difficult if you read up on their care. Dan Underwood at Seahorse Source is awesome. I have learned so much from him and Facebook pages. I have 5 seahorses from him right now and over 40 fry over 2 months.I really love seahorses and I am wondering if they would be fine in around a 30 gallon. I’m sorta new though. Are they easy or hard?
