don't hold back now... tell us how you really feel. :D

I've never dealt with seahorsefarms.com , but I have dealt with Bob at Florida collector. He's a good guy. He's slow about his responses to email, usually two to three days and also, the best thing you can do when you make an order from his site is email him with the order as well. Shipping is expensive IMHO, but that's life.

Currently no one is actually breeding and selling the dwarves. A few people here are working on that, but no one is doing it for retail sales yet.

Tank raised is ALWAYS best, however when there are no source for tank raised our choices are limited. There are a few good sources for dwarfs, but alas they are wild caught. If there were any sources for tank raised I would recommend. Florida collector, seahorse farms and seahorse world are all good sources and I have dealt with all of them.
