All normal it’s a process and before you know it you’ll see a cloud of babies and his belly will look like a flat tire for day or twoAlso about 2 hours ago he gave birth to one seahorse but that’s it no more came out and he looks like he’s pushing about every 5 to 7 minutes
So everything is completely normal how long after they start doing that do the babies come he’s been doing this for a while I’m just worried that something happened especially because his belly looks smaller it’s a dwarf seahorse

I will try and get one yes it’s my firstwhats happening with him rt now,same,?sometimes pre birth few babies, could be up to two days before full brood,but sounds like contractions may be soon,can you post pics or video?
Actually I kept H erectus seahorses myself. I did get 1 dwarf seahorse in a shipment of ghost shrimp which I kept for a month or so before re-homing it. If your male seahorse is young it may not have many fry but they can do that pumping action a long time. Sometimes they even do that when they are not pregnant.Not much exp with dwarfs hit up @viangel she has tons of experience with dwarfs but I’m guessing Mother Nature will take care of it I’ve seen in my own ponies it take a day n half
Live baby brine for the fry, frozen mysis and brine for the adultsPaulie, the ones on the right look like adults. What did you feed them?
Yesdo you have food prepared for them? live rotifers,live baby brine?
My brother I’m feeling for ya I know how your feeling, loosing a pony always sucks ,, they are such awesome creatures that always make me happy and smile I call em my babies. I myself have been going thru bad streak for 2 weeks I lost a total of 6 ponies due to my cleaner shrimps picking at them What it is is that they just got to big and pinched to hard,, they External skeleton and when they get hurt or scratches they become very effected by bacteria and whatever parasites your tank has they are very delicate creatures plus weak to begin with
So don’t beat yourself up as I can tell by your post that you love ur seahorses (as you should) and we’re very concerned about him
Pick your head up and take care of the rest of your seahorses. It’s not your falt
