I liked the H capensis the best they are totaly different than any other seahorse they snake along the bottom of the tank instead of swimming around.These are now on the red list and you cant get them any more.

Very cool. Even though they are on the red list, since you're breeding them are you allowed to sell them?

Not exactly sure. I only want to get a captive bred seahorse so I don't have to worry about weaning them off of live food and can just feed the frozen food. The three places that I am aware of that stocks them currently does not have any in stock.
