The description "tank bred" or "captive bred" is not enough these days.
You want tank bred/captive bred that are not raised in ocean water but in artificial water.
With the TRUE captive bred, you have better odds of survival as they don't normally have as many parasites as the horses bred in ocean water.
These ocean bred ones have been grown in net pens, or in cement tanks, using ocean water, and the only advantage they have over buying wild caught is that they normally eat frozen mysis.
TRUE captive bred will usually be several generations away from ocean water contact and have less exposure to parasites. They are normally older and can be sexed, unlike most of the Asian and South American cheaper ones.
Type will depend mostly on what you like the looks of, or whether or not you want to raise the young, and your experience level.
Most will require a minimum 30g for a pair, but occasionally some put a pair of Fuscus in a 20 or 24g.
Each extra pair needs about 15g extra tank size.
I've heard erectus are a good starter horse and their fry are easier to raise than many.
I started with Reidi as that was all I had available at the time.
Now, I have Reidi, Angustus, Barbouri, Comes (tigertails) and the most recent, erectus, which just started showing up in Canada.

 

My tank is a 14 gal bio cube with 1 clown a brain coral a leather coral a feather duster a few hermits and a sea hare

 

Unfortunately, there is no seahorse suitable for that size tank.
Dwarf seahorses, H. Zosterae would normally be kept in tanks 5 to 10g in size, but the zots require daily feeding of live BBS.

 

Oh okay thanks

 

so this is my lil seahorse she ate immediatley she even made a clicking sound when she sucked in the mysis she made a clicking sound she is awesome;D
