Seahorse In A 10 G??????
are there any commonly available seahorse or pipefish that would be ok in a 10 gallon besides the dwarves?

I am not an expert, but I believe H. Capensis have been kept successfully in a 10 gallon. However, I dont think they are good beginner seahorses and require colder temperatures(which means a chiller would be required). anyway I think the horsies would be more comfortable and happy in a bigger tank

Maybe Hawaiian seahorses (H. Capsensis as seacowboy said) they usually stay 2"-3", but are $$$

H. Capensis is from South Africa, not Hawaii. H. Fisheri I believe is the Hawaiian seahorse, but those seahorses would require a larger tank anyway.

I believe he said seahorse or pipefish. A bluestripe pipefish would be fine as long as it is eating frozen mysis or cycolpeeze. Just MAKE SURE it is eating frozens before you buy it, or you won't be able to keep it fed.

IMO your tank is already stocked.

I got a pair of TR H.erectus from the LFS. Here's the thread that has their first home, the 10g and now their new home, 40g tall.
