Looks like Redi's to me! Hardy ponies but their fry do not hitch at birth so they are trougher to raise!

Thanks Aquaman
Lynn, I understand completely. I've been attempting to look through photos, even on seahorse.org and there are some species where I can't see any differences at all personally. And the fact that they come in such varied colours and patterns for the same species doesn't make it any easier!

I'd have to agree and say reidi. They look healthy, not overly thin like most LFS horses. There are a few species that look similar but have their subtle differences. See if the LFS will tell you where they came from. That will make it easier to ID them.
Like Matt said, they make for a good starter seahorse, but their fry are very difficult to raise even for well expereinced keepers.

yeah that is true! I used to have 2 females and 5 males... Man we got a ton of babies and out of all of them only one survived past a year... VERY difficult!
