One of the larger Seahorses, the Yellow or Greater Seahorse is best suited for an aquarium set up specifically for Seahorses. It will require branched "perching” posts from which hang and low currents. The Tank Raised Seahorses will eat prepared frozen foods like Mysis or Brine Shrimp, in addition to Live Brine or small feeder fish. This makes them much hardier than wild caught Seahorses.
