Keeping members of the Syngnathid family is not the same as a FOWLR, it is hard to keep WC due to the need to train them to eat frozen food, plus the stress of capture etc. With CB being born and raised in a captive environment, they will eat frozen foods. I have been reading and researching seahorses now for 4 months, I wasted the first 2 months. But have found a forum that is dedicated to the Syngnathid family, ie sea dragons, pipe fish and seahorses and this has helped, I have been able to ask about all things in regards to keeping SH, and one of the members is Mic from seahorse sanctuary ( breeder ) and David from saseahorses ( breeder ). Don't get me wrong, I love Fishlore and all the great people and info. I just believe that if you want to keep, say a reef, you need to find and research on reef as much as you can, not to much info here about seahorses hey, guess to answer you, I would say that if you try to keep seahorses, do a lot of research, ask a lot of questions, only get CB, are they hard to keep? no, if you do your research. by research, I spent at least 2hrs every day over the last 2 month.
My male has changed colour from white to dark yellow to light brown all in only 2hrs today... seahorses are AMAZING!
Love them! Those are some real beauties! More pics please!
