Potbelly Seahorse - Male - Aquacultured - Australia

Hippocampus abdominalis

Seahorses are a very interesting species of fish due to their unique body shape and distinctive swimming and hitching behavior. Seahorses are recommended for more advanced hobbyists due to their specific care requirements, and are sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters, requiring pristine water quality and cooler water temperatures around 75 degrees. Flow should not be strong or direct as the seahorse are not strong swimmers. In their natural habitat they prefer to live among seagrass in rock pooks where they will curl their tail around these plants ā€œhitchingā€ in the aquarium. Use caution when choosing tank mates since they are extremely docile, so fish such as mandarins, small gobies, and firefish make ideal tankmates, along with other seahorses and pipefish. The Potbelly Seahorse is a slow and methodical feeder, so it’s best to offer small feedings several times per day. These Aquacultured seahorses once adjusted to their new surrounding will readily take frozen mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine shrimp, or live adult brine shrimp. Hippocampus abdominalis is a species of seahorses that belongs to the family Syngnathidae. This Aquacultured species reaches an adult size of 12 inches and are found in Australia and New Zealand in the Southwest Pacific Ocean.
