The Brazilian Seahorse (Hippocampus reidi) is sometimes called a Reidi Seahorse or a Long-snout Seahorse. It belongs to the family named Syngnathidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.0 inches in length, the Brazilian Seahorse is passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Hippocampus reidi should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in sizeand in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality, a peaceful environment, planted aquarium, and calm waters.
