Question for Van-area seahorse keepers

[wheatleyb7]

Hi,

I ordered a couple of the seahorses from J&L last week (I live in Kamloops). I had them shipped up and they arrived on Saturday. The yellow one looked great and is still okay, although I have yet to see it eat frozen food. The orange arrived looking quite bad, it had a couple of flesh wounds and didn't have a lot of color. I was a little ****ed that they sent one that looked like that. Anyway it was dead by noon on Sunday ($160 down the drain). I have a couple of Kudas and I was looking for some color to add to my tank. When I phoned J&L about the seahorses I was worried when I found out that they were wild caught. But when I was told that they don't get colored captive bred in I figured I would take the chance. Anyways, I just wanted you to know my story. Do you happen to know any other place to get colored seahorses?
