Too bad Singapore too warm...unless you have a very very strong chiller can forget about keeping potbelly seahorse...

I once emailed the guy who brought in some potbellies for display last Aquarama. The info on their care requirements that he emailed me...said that they need temperatures below 25 degrees celcius. Imagine just buying a chiller to keep seahorses.
