Zulu Lulus Seahorse (Hippocampus Capensis)
I am new to the hobby of marine aquariums and I am fascinated with seahorses. I would like to set up a 10-gallon species tank with a pair or two of seahorses. Which seahorses are easier to maintain? Are there any that would be suitable for a beginner? Compared to their wild-caught counterparts, virtually all captive-bred seahorses are very hardy, disease-resistant animals that are relatively easy to keep, but there are three types that are perhaps best-suited for beginners–Pixies, Zulu-lulus, and Mustangs. Which one is best for you depends largely on whether you like miniature, medium, or giant seahorses, whether you are primarily interested in breeding and raising the babies or just keeping them healthy and happy, and whether you mind hatching lots of brine shrimp every day or would rather keep seahorses that are trained to eat frozen foods as their everyday diet.
Buy Hippocampus Abdominalis Pot-Belly Pair Bigbelly Seahorse
The Bigbelly Seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis) is a large species of seahorse found in the Indo-Pacific region. They are one of the largest seahorses, reaching up to 35 cm in length. They have a stocky body and a large belly, which gives them their name.
Bigbelly seahorses are found in shallow reefs and lagoons, where they feed on small crustaceans and juvenile fish. They are excellent camouflagers and use their prehensile tail to anchor themselves to coral or seagrass.
Despite their size, bigbelly seahorses are under threat from habitat loss and overfishing. They are popular in the aquarium trade and are also used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Bigbelly Seahorse
The Bigbelly Seahorse, also known as the pot-bellied seahorse, is a species of seahorse found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. They are named for their large, bulbous stomachs, which can swell up to three times their normal size when they are full of food. These fish are slow swimmers and often use their long tail to curl around corals or other objects to anchor themselves in place.
Bigbelly seahorses grow to an average length of 15 cm (6 in), with some individuals reaching up to 20 cm (8 in). They have a tan or brown body with white spots and stripes, and a long snout with small eyes at the end. The males have a brood pouch on their belly where they incubate the eggs until they hatch. Females will usually only mate with one male during a breeding season.
Seahorses are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to overfishing and habitat loss. In many cultures, seahorses are considered good luck charms and are used in traditional medicine. As a result, they are popular souvenirs for tourists and their dried bodies can often be found for sale in markets around Southeast Asia.
