My seahorse who i just got about 1 week ago appears to have a "slit" under her tummy. I am new to all of this so what could it be. She also changes color. When she is with one of the other ones " her buddy" she lightens up when she leaves her she gets abit darker. I think that is normal. But what the slit under her belly??? I tried to take a pic but could not get a good one of the slit. But here is a few others of her. Thanks for teaching me and the help.

Her is probably a HIM ( does it go up and down????) and if he is dancing with another horse and changing colors, then that thier mating dance. try to get a front picture - it probably a pouch - I know you asked everyone what S E X your horses where in another thread, but they are probably just too young to tell.

It may be a female and the slit could just be the anal slit.
My female had that.Is the slit right under her belly?Kind of upside down?
Beautiful horse by the way

Man I need a horse again...lol

Yes I agree. It does look like a pouch developing. It is always hard to tell as seahorses are usually sold unsexed. But after seeing these pics I agree with Teresa that it is a young male.
