I would be very careful with putting seahorses in such a small tank. They need very good water quality which is going to be difficult in such a small tank. I am not sure about the dwarfs but regular sized ponies need cooler water than our reefs usually have. You would have to figure out a way to cool the tank significantly. The recommendation I keep hearing is 72-74 degrees. I kept mine at 77 and that is apparently too high and has been blamed by the experts as the reason I keep losing my ponies.
I do know that Matt has a good supplier for regular sized ponies but I am not sure if they have the dwarfs. I have never seen them for sale that I can remember.
