Just google them you can find out lots more info. Unfortunately sea horses are not tropical fish they are marine fish - saltwater fish. They will not go in your tropical fish tank and the seahorse will die.
A saltwater tank is not an easy transition, you will not be able to move any of your current fish into a salt tank.
Sorry.

Seahorses are for saltwater tanks.If you would put them in a tropical tank,they would die.They need very specialized care,and are very delicate.It's really not wise to buy them,as most of them are wild - caught,and many of them die before even reaching the pet shops.Also,they are quite expensive,and need a special diet. Here is a link to a very good site about them:
