Yes, most people find the seahorse to be much more difficult to keep than
the pipefish. In successfully keeping the seahorse your pipefish should be
flourishing. Have you had any baby seahorses?

The life history of both species is truly magnificent to observe in the
aquaria. The pair bond formed by seahorses is romantic as they go through
their morning greeting ritual. This is in stark contrast to the "quicky" of
the pipefish.

Brian, please provide more information about how you are caring for your H.
erectus, and S. fuscus.
