Hi
I just took my children to the New England Aquarium in Boston on Tuesday and they had a Seadragon display. It was amazingly beautiful. They had the 'leafy' and the 'weedy' dragons. I took some photos, but I haven't developed them yet (not sure how they'll come out)... They were so gentle and peaceful, just floating about.........

As would I, but seeing as you pretty much need an olympic sized swimming pool just to house one, let along breed (they need something like a 9 ft upwards tank just to perform their breeding ritual dance) and considering how stringent the laws are on their being taken from the wild here in Oz, I doubt many of us could. You need a special permit to collect them and then special permits to transport them overseas, as for keeping them in a home aquarium, I think it's illegal here, if not then they are extremely picky as to who is allowed them.
