A guide for seahorse: The owner guide on everything you need to know about seahorse

Seahorses are tiny fishes that are named for the shape in their head, which looks as if the head of a tiny horse. There are at the least 50 species of seahorses. You'll discover seahorses in the international's tropical and temperate coastal waters, swimming upright amongst seaweed and other plants. Seahorses use their dorsal fins (again fins) to propel slowly forward. To pass up and down, seahorses alter the quantity of air of their swim bladders, that is an air pocket interior their bodies. Tiny, spiny plates cowl seahorses' bodies all the way right down to their curled, bendy tails. The tail can grasp objects, helpful whilst seahorses want to anchor themselves to plant life.
A lady seahorse lays dozens, every so often masses, of eggs in a pouch on the male seahorse's abdomen. After seahorse moms make their eggs, they bypass them over to the men to hold till the young are released. When it's time to offer birth, the dad pumps water through the pouch, freeing hundreds of fry, or baby seahorses, in only some mins. Called a brood pouch, it resembles a kangaroo's pouch for wearing young. Seahorses' young hatch after as much as 45 days inside the brood pouch. The toddler seahorses, each about the scale of a jelly bean, locate different toddler seahorses and flow together in small groups, clinging to every other using their tails. Unlike kangaroos, toddler seahorses do not go back to the pouch. They must locate food and cover from predators as quickly as they're born.
