Seahorse behavior ok???

[michaelstern]

My seahorse almost never holds onto anything with its tail. It is almost always slowly swimming around. is this OK? It seems to constantly look for food. And yes, I feed it plenty. There are always at least 8-10 live shrimp running around the tank, and I feed frozen at least 3x per day.

If he is actively eating then he should be ok. Maybe he would rather swim. A few of mine in the past would sometimes cruise around the tank all day long...only gripping when the lights would go out...then the next day they wouldnt move...
Interesting critters they are.

How big are the shrimp in your tank? Maybe there too big for him and he is constantly searching. BUt if you SEE him eating it should not be a problem. But just putting them in there and assuming he's eating is not enough. So if you SEE him eating than you just have an active seahorse.
