seahorses or not?

Ok... I was thinking... could you put a seahorse in a 5 1/2 gallon tank with nothing else in there (other than decoration)? I haven't done it yet, and if it's not a good idea, I will not do it. And if not, what would be the smallest size tank for two? And also, I read that they can't handle strong current, any suggestions on a filter? And... do they prefer a long tank, or a tall tank? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this and would not think of getting anything before I researched what would be best for the fish, so please, no one bite my head off. I'm just asking.

Any good websites would be great too. THANKS!

visit www.seahorse.org they are the authority
you could keep 30-60 dwarf seahorses in a tank that size. larger ones need much more vertical room at least 21 inches. glad you are asking. do a search at seahorse org you will be able to answer most yuour questions.
