I have kept wc (in the old days before cr were readily available) and they were difficult but I usually needed to always keep at least one other "trained" seahorse around to teach the new ones how to eat frozen mysis. I also work at home so I can spend the required time to squirt food at them all the time.
They are now all cr with the CITES ban & that makes them reasonably easier to raise & keep alive. I still think that anyone interested in keeping seahorses think long & hard because of their special needs. You should have a tank dedicated to just seahorses or maybe with a few small, slow, harmless fish (I kept mysis eating mandarin gobies with mine). You also need to feed at least twice a day & still keep water quality high. Try tnot to have bristleworms in a seahorse tank because they will reach epidemic proportions in most seahorse species tanks. Seahorses are extremely cute, but they don't really move around much, so don't expect them to "entertain" you that way, except at feeding time. Anthony
