Has anyone used or heard of a pressure chamber for seahorses that will help get the gas bubbles out of the male's pouch?

I have a male that the gas will NOT come out no matter what I do. I have heard that a pressurized container for a few days may release this gas.

Hi John,

No, I have not heard this method of treatment for gas. Can you tell me how you are trying to evacuate and who gave you this information??

Thanks,
DeAnne :cool:

I have heard of treating in deep water, but most of us do not have access to this. Are you positive he has bubbles in his pouch and not swim bladder? Can you also describe the method of treatment you are trying. How long has he have been having these problems?
