And in summary........
The dwarf brazillian seahorse prefers frozen mysis, tall tanks, the male has the larger pouch, 20 gallon minimum, Adoph Hitler, long macro algae, book reports, screen over the filter intake, depeche mode, slow water movement and non-aggressive bottom dwelling tankmates only.

The only possible tank mates for an adolf hitler fish is an undulated triggerfish, and a green moray eel.

Dwarf brazilian seahorse?
If you are talking about H. reidi- then 20 is below the minumum
H. capensis- you will probably have to get a chiller
H. zosterea- 20 gallon is WAY too big for em and you would have to hatch BBS daily
Oh, and I do not agree that bottom dwelling are the only tankmates.
curious wormfish
cardinalfish
are two of the mid-top of the tank specimens that can be kept w/ seahorses.
their are some others, but I can't get to the list as of right now.

You think cardinals would be okay? I think they still would be too fast and out compete the seahorses for food.
I think that a 20 gallon tall or hex would work for two dwarf brazillians. It would be the minimum.
How big do they get 2.5-3 inches max? Very cute critters.
edit: Oops... you are right. Just brazillian. I must have thought dwarf cause mine were always so small. I had them for 2 years and they never got any larger than 3 inches.

A twenty hex would work great! I dont recommend cardinals with seahorses. Maybe a pipefish.

Cardinals are fine, because
1)they are shy
2)they are slow
3) they aren't verocious eaters
20 gallon long is not adequate for a full grown reidi.
NO PIPEFISH! Almost all are wc, which means they have bad, catchy diseases, like VIBRIO!
and even if you did find CB, their is still a risk, due to disease immuneness that different stocks will develop in different systems

Yes, I suppose you could TRY cardinalfish, but I have found some to be very unlike what you have said. I have never heard of pipefish being like that...and I have done a TON of research

EEEEEERRRR!
If you check the org (well not now, cause it has been hacked by perverts) you will notice that cardinals are 1 of the most ever reccomended species to keep w/ horses, and pipefish are never reccomended.

I hope you never have aspirations for public office or politics. That picture will haunt you forever if they snap one of you dressed as Hitler..............Atleast it would if I were running against you.
And yes, Hitler had a dog....two in fact. I think he named one Musillini, and the other had some Japanese name.

This is the problem with this forum. Someone comes on here asking for advice, an instead, you find the one thing in their post (which wasn't even important at all), and focus on that!!! It's ridiculous. This person simply asked if seahorses would be compatible with her pipefish and shrimp, she didn't ask anyone's opinion about how good ***** is, or their corporate policy or any of that crap. I've said it a million ties, and i'll say it again, this website's purpose is not to bash *****... if you want to do that, do it privately through email!!! We are here to give good avice to people, not to change the subject of every thread to "***** SUCKS"!!!
So take your whining elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!
And yes, i do have good things to say about *****, because i have a good *****... why would i say bad things about them???
i had a thread about this the other day, not about ***** but how people don't even answer the question being asked but only 2 people agreed.
