My new Seahorses :)
They arrived this morning happy and healthy. The breeder, Dan Underwood, was very helpful and informative. Both horses are the H. Erectus species, and one is male and the other, female. When they are mature, I do hope to breed them, but I still have lots more reading to do!
So far they have eaten frozen mysid shrimp twice today. Watching them is one of the coolest parts, as they even make a little noise as they "snick" up the food.
Here are some pics of my new babies:
Acclimating:
Male (I think)
Female (I think)
The Tank (20 gallons)
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, I would appreciate them. 
Thanks and have a good day,
Kayla

Thank you everyone!
As it turns out, I was backwards; the lighter one IS the male (he has a slight pouch), and the darker is the female.
Well, I do not have plans to upgrade my other tank (46g), but I do have a pic update:

Awesome flip....
As soon as I can grab a hex tank I'm going to attempt seahorses. I may need to pick your brain a bit.
Good luck and keep up posted.
