I dont have seahorses but those are so tiny. they look really cute. how did u get them?

Thanks!These are 2 of the 4 babies my male, "Titan", had. The babies are born just under 1 cm long. The adults grow to and inch. I got my original batch from a friend, but you can order them online. They do require lots of attention including hatching baby brine shrimp for them daily.

ohh yeah. i have read they need at least 3 live foods as well as a veriety of herbivore foods daily. i was thinking of getting a pair of black seahorses. i wonder if those are as hard

fantastic chart. if you know quite a bit about any of those in detail then you should add them to the fish forum profiles. it would do the site and the people who are qurious about them good :D
