Trapped air in my sea horse stomach

Williamthegr88 · May 6, 2018

it appears my seahorse has trapped air in his stomach he’s floating at the top of the tank he is still eating when I shoot food close to him but he seems to be stuck at the top now is there anything I can do?

There are also youtube videos showing pouch evacuations. Once you release the air bubbles in your stallion's pouch and he is comfortable again, you should double check your tank to make sure that no areas of husbandry are being over looked. Maybe even do some Xtra WCs to improve water quality so none of your other ponies get sick.

This one suggests a pipette and blunt Bobby pin if working it out with your hands doesn' work.
