Unfortunately, a 12 gal tank isn't large enough for ANY seahorses...let alone the 3 you already have.

It's like forcing you to live in a closet - sure you could do it but you'd sure be cramped. You definitely can't put more in there.

What about a 20gal high? Would that be adequate for seahorses?

itd be better than what they're in... still a bit cramped though. what kind of seahorses

remember horses are messier than your average fish, so keeping good water quality will be harder with more horses in a smaller tank.

If they are dwarfs, then the 12 gallon is really too big... 12 gallon is not a good size period for any type of seahorse.
