![]() Problem is the closest place I can order one from is 500 miles away. The place i bought her from is'nt expecting any to be shipped in. I would really like to have her go to someone in my area that already has a seahorse tank and i'm not taking her to our lfs. I'm only getting her a tank buddy 'cause I think she may be lonely. I turned a refugium in to a seahorse tank and now I think my tank is lacking pods.

![]() Seahorses have a short life span so if you bought this 2 years ago, its probably approaching the end of hers soon. May be better off, in this case to let her live alone and then buy a pair again later. Just a suggestion.

![]() This remaining seahorse was purchased 13 months ago at about 1 1/2". There's a guy in town that has been bringing some livestock in on his own so he'll see if he can bring one in. If not than I plan on letting her live out her life than turning that tank back in to a refugium.

![]() Under acceptable conditions the lifespan of most seahorses would be 5yrs to 8yrs and sometimes more.
Being that most of the seahorses showing up here in Canada are about 3 months old when they get here, then that female is at less than half of her life span. |

![]() I am not sure about the seahorses brought into BC - but alot of the ones we have gotten here in AB over the last few years have been a hybrid from a vietnamese breeder. From the photos yours looks very similar to the ones we got here. A cross between H.kuda and H.Reidi if thats possible. They have characteristics from both but just not quite right for either.
Just another possibility - can't confirm one way or the other by the photos.

![]() Another possibility is H. taeniopterus, which are very similar to H. kuda. I bought Kudas that ended up being taeniopterus.
