I would have to say I think the smallest tank for a pair would be a 20 gallon either high or long . I have found from my experience that longer tanks work better. Seahorses seem to be more active in a longer tank or larger tank. For quite some time we had a Seahorse tank at the shop and we used a 75 gallon, the horses were very active swimming all over the tank and I thought their feeding response was better.

Seahorses are best kept with their own kind however there are a few fish that can be kept with them. Pipe fish, mandrins, jawfish,non aggressive or bottom dwelling gobies would be ok. Seahorses are very slow eaters and do best with no compatition for food.

Be careful keeping them with mandarins. You would need a lot of live rock to keep the mandarin from dying because it couldn't get enough pods.

Okay here is my (maybe silly) question. How many can go into a 20 gallon tank? My better half loves seahorses, and I was thinking since I am not getting in trouble for converting our extra room with my fish hobby, a tank for the other should be a nice "thank you" type gift.
I love Seahorses and I am highly considering getting a pair however what about breeding? Do Seahorses bread in a tank and what would be the implications of this?
