Where can I buy a DWARF SEAHORSE online for really cheap?



MY TANK:
12 Gallon Cubemaster
-Filled with Chaeto
-Branch Rocks
-2 1" False Percs. that are not aggressive (I had seahorse before, but game them away)
-Feed Live Brine Shrimp (Approx. I buy 1 TBSP per week, but feed several times a day)

Unless your chaeto/rocks are treated with panacur and dwarf safe, they would not be good for dwarves because they probably have hydroids, which can hurt and kill dwarf seahorses. Dwarf seahorses should ideally not have tankmates, except for maybe snails. Dwarfs do not need a tank as large as 12 gallons because it would be hard to concentrate their food enough.

I'm confused as to what the poll is asking...

No offense, Richard - you need to do LOTS more research on dwarf seahorses if you plan on being successful. To answer your poll - no, your tank and tankmates are not suitable. You'd also have to hatch brine shrimp daily to feed the dwarfs, the live brine you purchase at your LFS is relatively useless - even for your clownfish.
