    That's why there are so many offshore breeders now, as they make big money selling them for medicine.
    If it were just for the hobby industry they wouldn't have bothered at all.
    For the hobby though, there are sites but just not enough of them yet.
    Check out this site.
    SEAHORSE SANCTUARY

    Horses like these are raised strictly for the hobby trade in order to boost the quality so that the odds of keeping them would be better.
    You can't afford to raise them this way for the medicine trade.

    Here is one site that provides to the medicine trade.
    It's staggering that just one company sells minimum 10KG per order but can supply up to 500KG per month.
    And there are getting to be so many places doing this now.
    Hopefully it won't be long before wild caught will not be necessary.
