Erectus are not "dwarves". The only species of dwarf seahorses available in the hobby is Hippocampus zosterae, and they need a very specialized setup since they max out at about an inch. Erectus are a large species seahorse and will get 7"- 8" or more full grown. Where are you doing your research that told you that erectus were dwarves. I would take a look at
www.seahorse.org/library/articles.shtml The other commonly available species like reidi and kuda also get that large. Most of the smaller seahorses are temperate or subtropical specis and will require a chiller.
