Actually my Dwarf Seahorse is. I had a group that I had ordered back in march and out of 10 only 1 survived. I decided that she was lonely so I went with another person and ordered 12 more. 1 was DOA and 1 passed within 2 days. The rest are gaining so much weight and look great!! Tonight I was talking to them(yes, I talk to them) and watching them and noticed that one of the males is pregnant. I am going to keep a close eye on him and will try to catch it on video.

I did a ton of homework on these little guys before I started this adventure. My first group came to me with ich. I informed the seller and was told that all of hers were just fine. Saw on her site a couple days later that all her ponies were sick. Go figure!!! I will snap a couple pics real quick Mr E. He is definitely a chubby right now!!!

Looks like there might even be two that are expecting. Look at the little green one on the bottom of this pic.

Thank you everyone!!! I got pics and videos of the last group but it is on my phone and not very good quality. I will be putting daddy in another tank at first signs of labor. Once he has them, he will be put back into main tank. I will be on high alert with camera in hand to try and video this wonderful occasion!!!
