Do Seahorses Really Make Good Pets? 

Seahorses may be beautiful creatures, but do they really make good pets? The creator of this video delves into what makes seahorses good and bad pets. You will be able to know by watching this video 5 pros and 3 cons of having seahorses.

Due to its interesting appearance, this fish has become a very common exotic pet. Seahorses are bony fish belonging to the Syngnathidae family, which also includes pipefish. There are between 40 and 50 types of this species and it is one of the most interesting marine creatures in the world.

How to care for a seahorse

• To get started, find an aquarium just for your seahorse. Do not mix it with any other type of fish and, if possible, even with others of the same species. At most, be 2 or just one, the latter much better.
• They eat live food, it should be noted that seahorses eat other fish. But they eat very slowly. Therefore, it is better to put them piece by piece and until they finish eating it, do not introduce others. In specialized sites you can find frozen food for these fish.
• Seahorses live in salt water, so avoid all kinds of material elements in the water, as they release substances that would harm them. Look for natural plants, silk decorations and anything else you consider to be of benefit and well-being.
• Seahorses change color depending on the environment, that is, to adapt to the environment, they take on a color similar to it. It's okay to play and trade items, but be careful not to overdo it. This would mean a reduction in your life expectancy, as well as stress.
• Save everything mentioned above, as this species is very sensitive and suffers a lot of stress for nothing. We remind you that living in captivity is not good for them, so be careful if you are going to place them in an aquarium.
