The ORA Captive-Bred Brazilian Longsnout Reidi Seahorse (Hippocampus reidi) is a beautiful tropical seahorse recognized for its elongated snout, graceful profile and highly variable coloration.

Captive-bred by ORA, Brazilian Reidi Seahorses are raised in aquarium conditions and trained to accept frozen foods, providing an important advantage over wild-collected seahorses. Adults can exceed 8 inches in length, making this an impressive centerpiece for a properly designed seahorse aquarium.

This listing is specifically for a female Brazilian Longsnout Reidi Seahorse.

Advanced Care – Not Recommended for Beginners

Brazilian Reidi Seahorses are not recommended for beginner aquarists.

Although captive breeding makes them better adapted to aquarium life, seahorses still have specialized requirements. They are slow, deliberate feeders and require careful attention to feeding frequency, water quality, flow, aquarium design and tankmate selection.

A mature, stable, seahorse-focused aquarium is strongly recommended. Prospective owners should already be comfortable maintaining stable marine aquarium conditions and understand seahorse husbandry before ordering.

Aquarium Setup

Provide a mature and stable marine aquarium with suitable vertical swimming space and numerous hitching structures where the seahorse can comfortably anchor its tail.

Flow should provide adequate circulation and filtration without creating conditions that constantly push the seahorse around the aquarium.

Tankmates must be selected carefully. Avoid aggressive species, fin nippers and fast, competitive feeders that may prevent the seahorse from receiving adequate nutrition.

A dedicated or carefully planned seahorse system provides much greater control over feeding, flow and compatibility.

Feeding

Captive-bred ORA seahorses are accustomed to eating prepared frozen foods, with frozen mysis shrimp forming the foundation of their diet.

Seahorses should be fed multiple times per day, and the aquarist should observe feeding to ensure the animal is actively eating.

Because seahorses feed slowly, placing food into the aquarium does not guarantee they receive enough. Fast-feeding fish can consume the food before the seahorse has an opportunity to eat.

Captive-Bred by ORA

ORA captive-bred seahorses are raised under controlled aquaculture conditions and acclimated to aquarium life.

Choosing captive-bred seahorses provides significant advantages over wild-collected specimens, including familiarity with prepared frozen foods and reduced collection pressure on wild populations.
