I got an extra seahorse to customize with thanks to Chihuahuamama ;D This seahorse was inspired by the leafy and weedy sea dragons in Australia! I love the colour green so I always jump at the chance to incorporate it into a custom project Some how this little guy turned out looking more like some alien sea serpent. I think it's the green and silver that makes me think so. What do you think For more information please visit... www.isidore-of-seville.com/seahorse/I think this was my best custom to date and my favourite! Hope you like it!

He's AWESOME! And man, oh, man do i LOVE sea dragons. I had sea horses (live ones) when I was younger, and so badly wanted sea dragons, but they're endangered and I got dirty looks every time I asked for them at the pet store . Really well done!

Aww..thanks everyone!
I always try to choose unusual animals/colours because I know Hasbro probably won't make them. That way I don't have to compete with theirs if they do make them.
Kev, keeping seahorses must have been really difficult. I hear they are incredibly fragile. Do they even sell sea dragons?

Kev, keeping seahorses must have been really difficult. I hear they are incredibly fragile. Do they even sell sea dragons? Yeah, particularly back then (fifteen years ago or so). Now, they have captive-bred seahorses, a bit more expensive but MUCH easier to raise, breed, and feed. The problem with wild seahorses is that a) they've been stripped from their natural environment (bad karma, and really tough on the seahorses) and b) they won't eat frozen brine shrimp, so you have to breed it fresh (stinky!, and a pain in the rump). Captive-breds will eat frozen, were born in a tank, and are much hardier and happier critters. Can't wait to get me some, in fact . Sea dragons aren't available for sale except on the illegal market, which wasn't anything I wanted to participate in. But i lurrrrve them. I wish they could be bred in captivity!

I wish I had that kind of skill to take care of them, but I can barely take care of my Bettas. How long do they usually live for?

Usually seahorses live anywhere between 2 and 5 years, particularly captive breds. Most of 'em that you buy at a fish store live about a year, though (if that)... They're so cool, though... Little chameleons that change color and swim all mellow and slow .
