Unlike most seahorse species, the pot-bellied seahorse is a relatively strong swimmer and has been known to swim over hundreds of meters in the course of a day.

The Element of the pot-bellied seahorse is water . Also put some large clumps of “caulerpa” and other plants because they love to grasp at them and hide among the seeds. The setting should also include several other thin elements to allow the pot-bellied seahorse to hang by it tail is by dead coral stones with slight cavities ,even plastic plants with thin stems (babies love them).

The life cycle of the pot-bellied seahorse is that first the females lay 200 eggs. then she deposits the eggs in the males pouch. Than the father carries the eggs for 2-3 weeks, depending on species and water temperature, until they hatch. He becomes pregnant once again. Only a few of the thousands of young that a couple produces survive to maturity.

The pot-bellied seahorse life span is unknown. Most estimates come from laboratory or aquarium observations. Known lifespans for seahorse species range from about one year in the smaller species to an average of three to five years for the larger species.

The pot-bellied seahorse reproduction In sea horses, the males become pregnant. They have what is termed true sex role-reversal, which means that the female actively chases the male as a mate, and that male then gives birth to the juveniles. A breeding pair remains monogamous (only ever one partner), and every day they initiate a little courtship ritual. When the female has eggs, this ritual culminates in the transfer of eggs to the male. He then incubates the eggs and gives birth to the juveniles after a short gestation period.)

The pot-bellied seahorse diet is on feeding primarily on crustaceans, mostly shrimp. Also different kind of small fishes.

The pot-bellied seahorse is one of the largest of all seahorses, growing up to 35 cm to 260 mm long. Also the pot-bellied seahorse weighs 60 grams.
