Wouldn't this be the BOMB for a seahorse aquarium?!? Don't get me wrong, I know that they're semi-endagered, but whoa...

I guess I know what to get Nam for his birthday- it's only appropriate since he's the year of the dragon, right?

One thing I can't figure out is if anyone actually sells them and for how much?

Really? Wait- was it on that wild discovery show?... no... blue planet?... no....

I forgot the name- but it was some sort of special program, right?

I have seen so many of them in teh last few months I can't keep 'em straight.

It probably was on Planet Earth but I might be wrong on that one..

I could check my DVR but I'm too lazy right now, :lol_hitting:

Not that specific one, but the sea dragons do come up for sale on ebay once in a while, and I thought I saw one at www.marinecenter.com not too terribly long ago.

I think the LSD is endangered so I would assume collection would be prohibited w/o a permit.

I have read about them. I think they are hard to get a hold of and very pricy if you do. There was some info on seahorse.org about those guys. Check out that site for more info

Seen them at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, they are very cool. I seem to remember a threaq about them a few years ago and at that time they were on the endangered list and very very expensive.

Ha !! That's what it was. I saw them on a show about "World's best Aquariums" and they showed the Shedd with the LSD's :)
