So you want to keep dwarf seahorses - Paperback

by Tom Hornsby (Author)

Hippocampus Zosterae, the Dwarf Seahorse, is one of the smallest seahorses available to the hobbyist today. Many people would like to keep these but do not know much about their needs. We rarely catch sight of these in Pet Shops and they are not kept by many people in the UK. So here is a book to help you get started with these exquisite creatures. Once you have read it you will be able to think about getting your own, along with having the confidence to look after them and their feeding requirements. The book shows how to care for them and for the fry that they may produce, and how to prepare their live food so they get the best out of it, and for those who want to grow their own food, some practical ways to do this. Armed with this information, there is no reason for you not have a tank full of happy healthy Dwarf seahorses. There is even a chapter helping you to make sure they stay healthy. The author, Tom Hornsby, has always had a passion for seahorses and wants to help as many as possible to keep and breed these amazing fish, so they will be around for our grandchildren to appreciate in the future.
