Sea Horsies

Ok, so I'm bumbed out because I didn't know horsies got that big (up to 12"). Then I find out people EAT THEM! ( what do they taste like? I wonder!) But, wouldn't it be better if people would buy tank horsies as opposed to wild ones since they're destroying ecosystems just to fill their bellies? Anyways, the actual question is, which one is the most sought after horsie? Maybe I'll raise those.

 

are you talking about raising them to harvest?

I suppose. Wouldn't it be better to open up a buffet rather than letting them continue destroying natural habitats? In the end, they'll still get them, might as well provide them in a human way, like raising cattle.

 

ok well I see your point but I still don't agree with it... so forgive me if I seem rude.... just stating my opinion....

No worries. You have no Idea how much more I respect a person who can state their opinion firmly no matter how opposed to my own (for so long as its stated with out arrogance, ignorance, etc etc etc). So brownie points for you in my book. Still, I'm not sure yet what I'll be getting. I still haven't even begun buying books or even seriously looking at tanks, let alone what kind of life I want in it.

 

lol I know what you mean...I have a tank that will be cleared out around feb but other than that ive just started research....lol

So now thanks to a post of yours earlier (you going salty) I went to another site to look up more info... Now I can't decide. My first choice (which I made over five years ago) was lion fish... now I'm thinking about it again. I have also thought about horsies (even before I read about the carnage) because they are so rare. I am such a fan of that which few others have. Now I see all these other pics of such beautiful fish I can't make up my mind... (ok Aaron deep breath! lol) If it weren't so darned expesive I'd probably try my hand at multiple tanks. But if it weren't so expensive so many people would do it and then I wouldn't want it... hahaha... I know, I'm vain like that. But I least I admit it (but I don't want help for it ahahahah)

 

lol I know what you mean don't worry.... have you checked this page out? I had my mind set on a pair of clownfish and a few cleaners, but when I saw this I can't make up my mind now....lol I'm gonna have to spen tons of time on research to figure it out...lol

not all of them are Saltwater but most are....
