There really is no such thing as a "black seahorse". Seahorses change their colour according to their environment. I know we can't equate red with a "happy" seahorse and black with "unhappy" seahorse, but typically seahorses that are experiencing a source of stress are darker.(ie, just shipped, sick, etc.)

They can indeed go pale when sick/stressed. But that's a fading of color not a colorization. If you get a horse that was shipped as bright yellow it is generally pale yellow when you get it. If you put it in a tank where it's not "happy" it won't go back to yellow but will "color up" to black.... unless is becomes less stressed in that tank.

Yellow seahorses newly transported from QT to their DT.
This is what their yellow was like in QT.
Not so yellow anymore. Scared of the new environment.
24 hours later.... settling in.... still scared and hitching constantly.
Feeling confident and colour returns. Not yellow like beofre but blending with their new environment.

Some fry I raised......
When one was starting to get sick..... (sorry, the only pic I have of her sick.... she had weird stuff in her snout... that's what I was taking a picture of...)
_________________________________________________________
Was black the entire time she was in a hospital tank.....
When settled in to the DT.
Shall I keep going....

There is no real answer to that. the three main species that are commonly seen are Kuda, Reidi and Erectus. Any of these would be good depending on your tank. ONLY BUY CAPTIVE BRED AND RAISED HORSES
As you can see from cranberrys post, dont buy because of color, they can change.
I have asked this question several times and never gotten an answer.
What size tank do you have

In one of your earlier threads you say it's 55 gallons. It's easy to measure.
Time to show some pics too.

Yeah, I'm really not sure. I think that it is somewhere between 50 gallons and 80. It's a pretty big range I know, but my tank is pretty big. I don't know how to put any pictures on my computer. I told that to a couple of people on here and they tried to tell me how, but I was completly lost!

What kind of camera do you have? It took me a while to figure out how to post pics too. I'd be happy to help you and try again.
I resize and crop all my pics with Paint Pro 7, you can also download Pisca2(very cool program)for free. Try to keep the pictures under 4" x 3.5", other wise the picture, when posted, is humongous. After cropping my pics I upload them onto photobucket.com. You can sign up for free for your own online photo album.
