how hard would it be to get a sea horse small aquarium setup? i saw a small set up with a couple seahorses and it got me thinking...i've not experienced saltwater fish and wouldnt get into it til prolly next year. But how hard is it to setup and maintain small saltwater setups?all i'd want in there would be a pair of seahorses, invertebrates(i'd like some cool easy manageable ideas) and perhaps a cleaner type shrimp or something for it...i'm just lookin for ideas...so if u wanna throw some at my wall it'd be appreciated..i was lookin at maybe getting one of those biocube setups as this tank would proly be a mainpiece for a room and wouldnt want a bunch of unsitely filters and wires running everywhere.

Because a seahorse eats/swims so slow it would do better in a tank with no fish.

Snails and shrimp should be ok to add.

A seahorse will be no harder to keep than most fish, just make sure nothing in the tank will keep him from getting food.

The bigger the better on tank size.
A shrimp and a few snails to start would work.
