Hi- I am looking to purchase a couple of barbs. Does anyone know if they are currently being sold in the states?

Dan at SeahorseSource has them occasionally. He's also probably one of the best seahorse breeders out there, and is not only very helpful and knowledgeable, but he also provides some of the best quality horses at good prices.

Yes, I know Dan and his quality! I have purchased seahorses from him on a number of occassions. I had checked with him about the barbs, and currently he doesn't have any in production. A few weeks ago, Blue Zoo Aquatics had a couple of pairs of barbs for sale, however they were pricey and pen raised! I'm hoping someone in this community knows of another resource.

I'm not sure, but maybe Peka's Ponies, and maybe Seahorse Corral too.
I'm not even sure if they're still in business, but I've heard good things about them. And they could have some barbouri.

Thank you for the reference but Peka's Ponies has closed down... I love seahorses and still occassionally raise fry as a hobbyist but I don't have barbs at this point.....

Sorry to hear, hope you enjoy your time off. I know fry can be a major pita.

I have a male Barb in need of a female. He prefers that she's pretty but demure; she can be fun but not bossy or naggy; also she must like shrimp and holding tails :)
But seriously, I'm waiting for Dan U to come out with a batch 'o Barbs too :)

Ha! Very cute! I think it will still be quite a wait with Dan...he isn't projecting a date.
Guys, I'm sorry! We will try to have them again as soon as possible. In the meantime, I heard Southwatch had some, don't know if they still do.

I checked Southwatch, and the barbs are out of stock.

Quick! Somebody corner the market on Barbouri seahorses! At least 3-4 months of 100% market share!
