I have always been interested in seahorses and have kept the dwarf ones off and on since the 60s. So I guess you could say I have been interested for the past 40 years or so.
At this time I do not plan on getting any, they are a lot of work, but always enjoy reading about them and viewing their pictures. I have read many an article about them, and would love to have them except for the constant feeding.
They are probably one of my most favorite creatures on the planet, and I especially like the leafy sea dragon. When I go to a public aquarium, I am usually near one of the seahorse or sea dragon tanks.
Rykna, my birthday is also in May, and maybe by then the seahorse forum will be up and running, it would be a nice addition to this site. I spend most of my time browsing the reef section, but would spend equal time in a seahorse section if it were availble.
Hopefully it will not be too long, these are fascinating creatures, we (actually I bought it for the wife) even have one that is blown glass. There are some nice pictures of the sea dragons on the divegallery site, I will not post a link, even though they do not sell anything, I did not check all the links though.
