Two sites on seahorses:

Yah . . . I've had them before for a year and a half before I had to give them up (waaaaayyy back when they were $20 each and always available anywhere) . . . Gave them up coz I saw a reef tank and decided to convert! But now I finally have the space for two tanks so looking for a species tank (50 gal . . . maybe 2 seahorses and pipefish from JL) . . . how much are they going for nowadays??
