Following. That's crazy! I've raised seahorse babies before. Usual visible birth defects were bent snouts and wonky/missing tails. Good luck with this one!

I did had one with a short snoot few weeks ago. He was unable to eat so I had to cull him. Sadly I can t tell if he is from the same father, as I hurt really bad my back before the twin birth. I wasn't really able to move to check the state of pregnancy of different males

He went to bed quite well fed.
Today he spend as much energy than his sisters and brothers.
I didn t needed to help him hitch for the night today
Still doesn t swim normally but I guess he never will...
Swimming is improving, less hesitant, more coordinate but you feel the weight of the 2 heads when he swims...
