Hippocampus Kuda - in Aquaria

In Aquaria

Common seahorses have very small mouths, eating only small animals like brine shrimp and even newborn guppies. Seahorses need to eat frequently—4-5 times a day. Many aquarists who have kept this species cultivate their own brine shrimp, and rotifers. Daphnia is eaten when other foods are unavailable.

Seahorses spend most of their time anchoring to coral reefs and branches with their tails, made necessary because they are poor swimmers. The need similar anchor points In aquaria. Seahorses like a quiet tank, without large, belligerent fish, and a slow-moving current. Aquarists have found them to be generally accepting of tankmates like "Synchiropus splendidus" '(Mandarinfish) and other bottom dwelling fishes.
