LIfe Span

What is the typical life span of seahorses?? I'm thinking of setting up a tank tied into my 90 Gal Reef/40 Gal Sump.
Thx, Salty

It will depend on the breed, Some will live 4 to 5 years

Or longer.

I kept a WC reidi for 5.5 years, it was an adult when I found it.

My homie David colelcted a Potbelly and kept it for 7 years, it was retired from brood stock after 5.

Both of our seahorses went blind and could no longer find food.

I have no idea how old mine actually was.
