I’ve always fancied a tall hexagonal tank with ‘will have one day’ seahorses …

Mine are not that big really...you might get a couple of seahorses in one, maybe

rare fish are big fish, right?

I mean...they can be. I am super into oddball fish - fish that aren't kept that often and don't fit into one category. You start looking into larger tanks, because a lot of fish that are small have already been captive bred, and the ones that haven't can't be captive bred.

Same man! I love to have fish that arent kept often like a betta or neons... Thats why I'm getting gudgeons. They are harder to find but sooo pretty and fascinating. One day is like to get a larger odd ball fish (not a monster fish of course)

I spent over 6 months looking for one of my oddballs. Top that! Hah. Also, bettas and neons are kept very often.

I know... I was saying that bettas and neons are readily kept fish.

Now you are really adding fuel to the fire!! 60 ltrs is about 15 gallons and according to Seahorse Savvy…
“We recommend having an aquarium in the 3-10 gallon range. 10 gallons would be recommend for very large herds of dwarf seahorses. With such a small aquarium size large water changes will be easy to accomplish in a Dwarf seahorse tank.6 Oct 2018”

EDIT: I push post instead on insert

I wonder if there are any freshwater seahorses... would they actually be called riverhorses or lakehorses? idk

There are pipefish that are sometimes called “freshwater seahorses”

I don't know much about seahorses but aren't smaller saltwater tanks harder to keep stable?
If you really want a seahorse I would get a bigger species instead of a dwarf and get a larger sized tank

@realzalio - I’m a hundred years away from even considering trying to keep seahorses…this silliness started in the thread ‘fish you’d like to have..?’ Something like that .

I’ve mastered Bettas and guppies, my next ”victims” are going to be dwarf neons and platies… then technically I’m out of tank space

The one thing about sea horses is that it is particularly annoying building those underwater stables.
