Hippocampus Barbouri, Seahorse Aquaculture

Hippocampus barbouri has an elongated body with zebra-like stripes on its face. The color varies from yellow to orange to brown, usually with fine patterns and spots, which help it camouflage in seagrass beds and coral reefs.

Breeding Notes:

• Water Salinity: Seahorses require a salinity similar to seawater. Please refer to our marine salt (artificial seawater) products.
• pH: The ideal pH range is 8.1-8.4.
• Tank Size: The minimum size is 20 gallons, but for multiple seahorses, a tank of at least 30 gallons is recommended for optimal seahorse aquaculture practices.
• Tank Mates: Do not house seahorses with aggressive fish, venomous fish, or invertebrates.
