Male or Female

[rykna]

After researching more about the anatomy of a seahorses online I am not so certain that the seahorse I have is a male.... :notsure: I've been trying to catch some pics of him, but he keeps turning the wrong way...

Fuzzy wuzzy pictures don't help, sorry.

Thanks....I'll have to wait until Valiant comes out...he is currently hunting pods in the LR. I hope to post some soon

 

[teresaq]

from this picture of yours. i'd say male, but lets see if you can get a few more
See how in the second picture the belly looks round and goes straight back towards tail. yours slopes down to tail

 

[rykna]

Yeah...I see what you're talking about....I think you're right. I'll get some more pics though....as soon as handsome show himself! :happyfish

 

[teresaq]

so far i have had three people say male.

 

[poniegirl]

I just went back to your photos of him in the Photography Board (it would be simpler with a dedicated Syngnathid Board)
and in that photo, I believe handsome is showing himself very nicely. Have another look. He's young and it won't be obvious, but he looks like a he to me.

 

[rykna]

I think you're correct

I couldn't get him to hold still long enough for a good shot, but I'd say he's definately a stud :happyfish

I have no clue on the --- but I thought about ya last night while I was at my LFS. They had just gotten in 2 gorgeous bright orangish-red seahorses. They were about 4 inches tall or so. I can't remeber the exact amount, but they were pricey. Anyway, I saw them and thought, hmmmm Rykna would love these.
Have a great day!!

Drooooooooooooooooooool :happyfish They're Redi Brazillian..right? probably 250~300 for the pair....beatiful animals!!!! My Kuda probablly wouldn't be to keen on sharing...from what I have read it's best to keep same type horses. Pther wise I'd be all over that!!! Thanks for the thought though

 

[teresaq]

your prob right, but kuda do come in yellow/orange. and yes its best to keep to one species.

 

[rykna]

YEah, I've been eyeing the yellow kudas on SWF.....I tyring to have patience(like I have that!!) and let Valiant get a little more established before I find hima new friend!!
Thanks,
Rykna

 

[teresaq]

I didnt see kuda in this sight, all the ones i saw were reidi.

 

[rykna]

Huh....Maybe I was thinking of another site....I found the black ones here....but no yellow kuda....oh well!

 

[teresaq]

I know where to get them

did you see the new pictures i posted today. lucy thinks she is a bat.

 

[rykna]

Yeah!!! That's awesome....I wish I was that flexable!!!! Great tank too!
