    Wow congrats Cosmo, I would love to attempt some horses if you can raise a bunch of the little guys. From where your at to Akron shouldn't be too much.

    Nah, bro, could prob ship for $10 or so if the weathers ok, if it's cold, we'd need to overnight, so prob $25-35

    just get on it, you'd be second;) prob be a few months till I get the population up, if it holds on. they seem to be doing ok, although, the success rate of the babies doesn't seem great, its really hard to tell because they're so small and change colors to blend in, but keep me informed, I'll ship for cost!

    I'm guessing we could get it there 2 day for $20-30, not sure though, but that would prob require decent weather. Talking to people that ship these, they are pretty hardy in shipping, let me know.

    A fifteen gallon tank is much too large for dwarf H. zosterae, and much too small for standard seahorses like kuda, reidi, erectus, comes, ect......
    An average size that dwarf keepers use would be about 5g.

    +1 A 5 gallon would be your best bet ;)
