    While a 20g tank may be considered the minimum for a pair of H. fuscus, it is NOT generally recommended for a pair of H. kuda, H. reidi, or H. erectus or others of their size and larger.
    H. fuscus have NOT been available for some time now on the North American continent, even by seahorsesource.com.
