Seahorses & Pipefish

Delicate specialist species

Enchanting, slow-moving fish that require species-specific tanks with low flow, no aggressive tankmates, and multiple feedings per day. Seahorses are best kept in dedicated seahorse-only systems. Australia produces some of the world's best captive-bred seahorses, particularly the Pot Belly Seahorse.
