Please research. Seahorses are pretty much species only. You can have small gobies with them but most fish are agressive eaters and horses will starve. They eat frozen mysis at least twice a day. They are ok with some corals, but nothing with stinging tenticals. They require something in the tank for hitching.

It sounds like for a 29 gallon tank, you're pretty much stocked...I wouldn't add anything else for livestock in there.
Seahorses need a species only tank (as Theresa mentioned)...no large, fast eating fish, no stinging corals. Again, smaller gobies ( i.e., clown gobies) are best suited.
If really interested in starting a sh tank, do the research, start another tank, and away you go.
Good luck!!

no problem

It just helps if you give a little info about your current tanks and sw experience since seahorses take a lot of extra tlc.
