Pregnant dwarf pony?

[DracoKat]

Is he preggers? His belly is fat. I can’t get any other shots but this is the best one

many advice what I can do if it’s successful and I see babies? Just keep feeding bbs and water changes?

I would keep a close eye to it as it could also be trapped air.

Don't own these but sure does look like it. Better do some homework just in case.

Good chance it is. If so, they have small broods compared to other seahorses such as eructus. The easiest seahorse fry to rear are therefore benthic fry that are large and well developed at birth. Dwarf seahorses or Pixies (Hippocampus zosterae) fall into this category.
You may want to, in case set up a nursery tank and start hatching of Baby brine shrimp.

Reading up on rearing the fry seems easy enough. I do feed live BBS, enriched as well twice daily, so I am all set for that. I always have a steady supply on hand.

Looks like they can stay in the same tank as the adults and eat the same food. It's my first time so I am a bit nervous and excited at the same time

Thought I’d share a pic. Any idea how much longer by the photo? I’m not sure when they transferred eggs- I noticed it last Friday so barely a week
