I don't want to ship them I'm hoping to find them in Minnesota where I can just pick them up. I don't want to stress them anymore then they need to be. Does anyone know of anyone who has them?
Thank-you
WELCOME!
This site sells Erectus, Meowzer got hers from here...and you get a 15 day guarantee. All critters arive the next day.
I read that seahorses ship very well. They like the colder temps so you shouldn't have a problem.

But everything I have been taught is you have to see the SH be able to watch them for a while, looking for desease(sp), I would be so unhappy with getting unhealthy SH, I don't want the first expreance to be with death on delivery. How does any one know they are getting healthy SH? I don't know the sellers of online anymore then the next, I'm a meet and greet kinda person.

there are only 4 that I know of and cant really post them here. If you have a lfs that deals in ora, then they can order them from there and have them shipped to thier store. Most people do have thier horses shipped, and most of the time the ship well. Meowzer got 4 from here, they are captive bred and were eatting mysis as soon as they hit the tank.
You would have to find a private breeder in your area. If you have a reef club you may be able to find one thru there.

That is where the 15 day guarantee comes in. Believe me any critter can look perfectly healthy and the next day or even just getting home and it dies right in the bag. You are out the money and the critter.
SWF does not want to replace a critter. They don't make money that way. They want to send the healthiest critter so you are happy and they make money, and if it should (God forbid) not make it, you are not out the cash.
Not only are you guaranteed alive on arrival, but believe me in 24 hours you will know if the horses will eat. In 15 days you will certainly know if any horse has a problem.
We are dealing with live creatures and anyone can have a dead critter, you have to have a little faith in the breeder. Do your best to have the tank all set and you do your research on the type of critter you want. This is the very best way to make sure you have a good first experience with any SW critter..
P.S.
I order from SWF all the time...they are the best. I only go to another site if SWF does not carry the critter I want at all, I even wait until it's back in stock to try and get it from them.
I just purchased from another site, and lost a Yellow ruffled leather coral (normally a very hearty critter)...it never opened after shipping and turned black after two days..I paid $70.00 for it and now I am out $70.00.
