Hi guys, I’ve been keeping betas, multiple community fish, and stuff like that for a few years now and I’ve been wanting a salt water tank for a while. Would a dwarf seahorse be a good place to start? I currently have a 29 gallon tank that is freshwater and empty 3 gallon tank but I’ve been saving up too do something with saltwater tanks so I could buy a new one.
Should I start a community saltwater tank or just keep a few dwarf seahorse?? Pls lmk everything possible

I agree from what I understand too seahorses are actually very hard to keep. I would start with some chromis or the good old clownfish tail spot Bellini's a good one. some gobies stuff like that. And get the biggest tank you can afford a bigger tank is easier to maintain than a smaller one. But a little bit more expensive all around equipment water changes Etc.

From what I know they are very demanding in their care needs, with flow, certain long thin poles they hook onto, and feeding the tiniest things. To me they seem way harder than the standard community fish. For your first tank I’d recommend starting with easier fish to master salinity, temperature and water parameters, and once you feel confident in maintaining that go for the seahorses if your still interested. Do what feels right to you!
