10 Dwarf Seahorses-Captive Bred Hippocampus zosterae

This is for 10 of our captive bred Dwarf seahorses, Hippocampus zosterae.

If you have a preference on sexes you can add a note to your order when checking out and we will try our best. Otherwise we try to send mix sexes. 

We are extremely excited to offer our new captive bred Dwarf seahorses!

Species: Hippocampus zosterae

Our new Dwarf seahorses are 100% captive bred and raised at our farm in Maryland. They are approximately 3/4-1 inch in size and will reach 1-1.5 inches with maturity.

Feeding-Very Important! Please Read!

Dwarf seahorses, unlike our other captive bred seahorse varieties, eat live artemia nauplii (baby brine shrimp) and need to be fed ~2-3 times daily. Please see our Article below for information on hatching baby brine shrimp if you are not already familiar.

Dwarf seahorses can be stocked at about 10-12 seahorses per gallon. Lower stocking densities are fine too. We recommend a 3-10 gallon aquarium size for Dwarf seahorses. We highly recommend keeping your aquarium temperature at 70-74 F.

Color and markings vary. Cirri may be seen in some individuals and can come and go. Color is not fixed in any seahorse species and changes based on mood, surrounding, diet, lighting and many other factors.
