Default sea horses

Some good tank mates for sea horses, providing you have
adequate space, are yellow head jaw fish, high fined
banded gobies, cardinal fish, and fire fish.

horse in with them. Or do i need a bigger tank maybe, or are sea
horse not good with other species.

any help much appreciated

Sea Horses are not good tankmates for just about any fish (other than a
other Sea horses or pipefish). They are very slow eaters and most other
fish will out compete them for food so they will end up starving to death.
