Do seahorses make good pets?
It's tough to say whether or not seahorses make good pets. An experienced aquarist, with plenty of time to care for them, can successfully keep and even breed seahorses. Seahorse must feed constantly and will often eat only live food. This forces the aquarist to care for not only the seahorses, but their food as well. Additionally, most seahorses sold in pet stores are wild caught. This raises some conservation concerns, as more and more of the wild populations are being fished for the aquarium trade. It is not recommended that you try keeping seahorses without prior experience. Your best bet is to observe and enjoy them in a public aquarium or in their natural habitat.
