Seahorse Pregnant????

[cartersanders]

Hi, this is my first ever male seahorse, he is an Erectus. I have a pair, and I think he is pregnant. Can anyone identify if that is true? I have seen him pump, while she was pointing but I did not see the exchange of eggs.

Doesn't look pregnant in those pictures, but, if the transfer only happened recently I wouldn't really expect it to show for the first few days or so.
Often a male will inflate the pouch even FAR more than those pictures show but not be pregnant. It could remain inflated that way anywhere from minutes to days.

My erectus male took 19 days from egg exchange to birthing the fry. He got much bigger than your photo showed but you should have a better idea in 2 weeks.
