Cost of course will depend on who has them and when.
Kuda, hysterix, barbouris here in Calgary have been anywhere from $40-$60 a piece.
My dwarfs sold for $35 each, but not likely one will see thes often as a CITES permit is required to import them into Canada.
Cost of feeding varies with how many you have, all seahorses are eating machines.
Larger horses can eat up to 100 food items a day per horse.
Dwarfs will eat up to 1000-1500 brine shrimp a day per horse.
Most require live food till you can ween them onto frozen.
Most require multiple feedings a day to keep up with the food demand.
I feed the dwarfs (10-12 of them) 2 tsp of fresh hatched brine a day, 1/2 in morning before work and 1/2 after. The little tank looks like one of the snowglobes after I add the brine and when I get home from work there are barely any swimming around.
