One of my male seahorses just gave birth to about 10-20 babies earlier this week. When transferring him from the nursery tank back to the main tank, I noticed that another one of my horses has a swollen belly. Being pretty much new to keeping these animals, I'm unsure if I've got a gravid female or a pregnant male. Can anyone help me out? Hopefully, the picture is good enough. Thanks all!

thats a preggie male.. gravid females basically look like golf balls w/ fins and they don't have pouches. good luck with the fry!

Thank you so much for your reply fourhand. I'm concerned because I'm not sure if I would recognize a pouch full of air or a pouch full of eggs! Any ideas on that? Also, would it be ok to put him in a nursery tank that currently contains 3 day old babies? Thanks again for your help!
