The Seahorse Conservation Trust & Kaleidoscope Aquatic Centre
The Seahorse is one of the most interesting and popular fish in the hobby. Unfortunately it is well documented that these wonderful majestic creatures are in danger of extinction in the wild through relentless collection largely for Chinese medicine and the loss of their natural habitat. The UK pet trade has responded by banning the importation of these wonderful creatures and now all seahorses sold in the UK are captive bred which can only be good for their future. Kaleidoscope has long been supporters of this small contribution to seahorse conservation.

With the launch of this website Kaleidoscope Aquatic Centre has now teamed up with the Seahorse Conservation Trust to help make our customers more aware of the seahorse’s plight. You will soon be able to marvel at the majesty of these wonderful creatures by watching them in our new display aquarium at the Kaleidoscope Aquatic Centre. Here you can also find out more about the Seahorse Conservation Trust and the vital work that they do. You can also visit the Seahorse Conservation Trust website by clicking the link below.
