The dragon pipe i got for $6 nia..at reB**n. Sometimes not stable..observe the fish. It should not be dazed for prolonged periods of time, they should slowly 'crawl' curiously and gracefully around the tank.

That's a pygmy seahorse. Impossible to keep if you do not have the time to obtain food resources for it. The smaller the seahorse the more times it has to be fed a day.

Hi Terryz,

Pygmy seahorse/ h. bargibanti is near impossible to get even in other countries like US.

They live deep beneath the sea, more than 13m. Normally found on gorgonians. They are temperate seahorses. Maintaining a temp no more than 22max.

There is very little info on the husbandry of the pygmy seahorses, but I assume they will feed like their close cousin, dwarf seahorse/ h. zosterae.

Recently, pple have discovered a new species of pygmy, h.denise. It is found at the indo pac. We might be able to get them since its found ard our region. but still, chances are very very slim.

Cheers!

Wei :)
