by water conditions, do you mean temp??
most tropicals need temps around 74 to keep bacteria down
sq around 1.024
med to low flow. you can have a little higher, but should have areas of low for horses to rest.
most everything else would be the same as any other tank

no, they require the same as any reef tank, just lower temps, lower flow. No aggresive fish or corals. Taller tanks are better, and nothing less then 29 gal per pair.
Only by Captive breed, not tank raised.

A 12 gal is too small for even juvi horses. They will grow to round 7 inch long, very quickly. not to mention the water quality would be very hard to keep up. They are messy, and have to be fed at least three times a day.

see my above post, I wouldnt do anything under a 29 gal for a pair.
Also what species, and are the captive bred.

Dwarfs get about an inch to inch and a half long, and must be fed live newly hatched brine shrimp. your 12 gal cube would have to be moded so they would not get sucked into the filters.
Look thru this forum, there are plenty of pictures of the dwarfs.
