    And you can see this tank in action here: • Chesapeake Bay Seahors...
    In this video we take a detailed look at the Lined Seahorse, Hippocampus Erectus. There are more than 40 species of seahorse worldwide, but they all share the same unexpected features. We explore how sea horses hunt, how they are capable of camouflaging in their environment, sometimes mimicking algea, coral or sea sponges. We also get an up close look that their unusual prehensile tails and finally examine sea horse genetics.

    This video makes me think that my incredibly swift, noble seahorse steed in World of Warcraft was actually a tad unrealistic

    all pipefish, leafy sea-dragons, and all sea horses. These guys facinate me to no end. TY for posting these videos on them.

    Years ago I raised dwarf seahorses. Had so many I was selling them to local pet shops. Very entertaining fish. Also had pipefish as well, they were a bit more difficult for me.
    Thanks.... 👍😊

    I used to breed dwarf seahorses. They are pretty amazing little guys. Profitable too. Edit: I love at the end one guy simply pulling the other one out of frame even though he clearly wasn't finished eating yet lol

    Continuously hatch brine shrimp with an artemia refugium. Love the vid but live food especially in saltwater is so easy.
