Is dwarf seahorse pregnant?

[Lolipop0912]

title says it all. If so, how long until I can expect to see fry? Ps. they are being fed baby brine shrimp. The enrichment is in the mail.
Ps. It’s two males. I’m wondering if they are both preagnant. If they are, I’m prepared for the fry craziness.

Hi. It does look like a extended belly. But would prefer another shot.

Mine had a small extended belly even though not pregnant. Maybe an air bubble got stuck inside. Sometimes non vital embryos get stuck but then they would expel it later.
Can you take another picture. ?

Sure can! He decided to swim to the front of the tank and pose. They are 2 different males. The one at the front I caught doing some wriggling in the bag. I’m not sure if it was normal or if he was trying to get eggs in place.

your picture are too blurry

correct. Though they look like males, their bellies do not look very extended.
Normally when a pregs male is about to give birth, his belly would be huge, like those in pics above.

Keep feeding enriched brine shrimp, and maybe spring for some copepods. When they are well fed, not stressed, then they should mate .

Dont forget your water changes and make sure enough calcium is in the tank.
