Markings vary and can consist of spots, silver saddling, and tail-bands. Some individuals are solid color. Markings tend to develop with maturity.

We generally do not recommmend mixing seahorse species in the same aquarium. One exception is our Reidi and Erectus seahorses. We have kept these two species together with no issues. We have many customers who have been successful with keeping these two species together. They are beautiful and we do not expect them to be available very long. 

Breeding: Reidi seahorses are among the most difficult to raise of the seahorse species. Fry are very little and often require copepods as a first food. Reidi are slow growing. Reidi can give birth up 1000 fry every two weeks.

Feeding and Stocking Information: We are feeding these captive bred seahorses Hikari BioPure Mysis shrimp and PE Mysis shrimp twice daily. Seahorses are very socials animals. They do best when kept paired or in a group. We recommend a 30 gallon for two Reidi seahorses and at least an additional 15 gallons for every two more seahorses you wish to keep.
