can i put any other fishes like boxfishes or gobies in a tank with dwarf seahorses
There is a tank mate comparison chart at the top of the seahorses and pipefish section. I am not sure about the dwarf, but I keep the yellow clown goby with my erectus seahorses. A boxfish...NO WAY, you can't keep that fish with hardly anything, let alone dwarf seahorses.

I would say no. Most peope only keep dwarfs by themselves because of feeding habits. Since dwarfs only eat bbs or pods and can not be subjected to hydroids, most keep a sterile tank for them. I have seen a few that keep dwarf pipes with them because they eat the same food.
That being said, most keep dwarfs in a 5 gal tank so most fish would not even fit in a tank that size.
