Answer
Hello Lauren,

(I switched your question to a PUBLIC question so others may browse through and maybe get sooething from our discussion)

Seahorsed come in all sizes, some about 1-2 inches and some larger then 3-4 inches.

Each species is different, and i wish I could help you more, but that is the extent of my seahorse experience and knowldged.  I have a good friend who has a forum or two, but i dont recall them offhand, and will get in touch with her sometime today..

(you can meet us online at my forum to talk with her directly if you want...   www.thelittleocean.com/forum)



to turn a fresh water tank into a saltwater tank is not hard, just clean it good and add salt water...

The question/problem is to figure out what and how you want your tank to be...  (internal sump, external sump, hang on tank filter, natural filter... what type of lighting, etc...)

Lots and lots of quesitons, preferences etc...


The first place to start is to figure out what you want ot keep... Fish only, aggressive fish, or community fish, coral, hard coral, or soft, etc....

Please let me know if you have specific questions and or directions and i will try to help...
