Whats the longest people have kept seahorses.

I think the key to success is finding true captive bred horses. The ones you typically find in LFS are rarely truly captive, even though they are claimed to be they are actually bred in nets within the ocean or similar systems that mimic the ocean environment making them essentially the same as wild caught.

All the horses I kept were bred in labs in Australia and did exceptionally well in a typical reef tank environment. I had them for over a year and I'm sure I would still have them if I did not sell them due to moving. Unfortunately I don't know if the same supplier is still available, I've been told they are not.
