cant really see the little one, pics have to be straight side profiles. lol I know, hard to get.
m&m and umpa def look female, need better pics of the other two.
What about Miss Picky? I had a really good side view of her (Last pic). TT is hard because she is so black and stays on that rock...Feeding time is 5:00 so I will try and get some better pictures then.
LOL...are there any ugly seahorses???

well, in response to your other thread, if it turns out that one or more are male, I have not had problems with pouch bubbles, its not as common as you think. And if you happen to get fry, remember, peka is not far from you and I am sure she would take all the fry you could give her. lol
A few more months and you will know for sure.

Peka (Beth) told me in a group of all one gender that sometimes they change sex..clowns do I know. She also said she would take all the babies if I called her. I doubt any would last an hour before being sucked up by the filter system. So unless I see the event and turn the pumps off the little ones would be doomed.
I have a hard time seeing little critters die..it really bothers me. So I really hope they stay females and behave themselves.
I have to get ready for work..Good night all.

HMMM...I never heard that seahorses can change sex
To be honest ..me either. I was thinking Peka was covering her butt in case she gave me an accidental male. But I am no seahorse expert by any streach of the imagination so I can't argue.

Henry, it not that they dont know what males and females look like, its just difficult to tell on very young horses, some will suprise you and develope a pouch later in life. The owner of a seahorse breeding facility has even had, on two occations breeding females turn male. hummmm
it does happen, just not often.
