Happy father’s day to the best fish father’s in all of the ocean, Seahorses! Check out this dwarf seahorse releasing fry from his brood pouch! 🫧

Unlike some of the other seahorse species, dwarf seahorse fry can use their prehensile tail immediately after being released from the brood pouch, as shown by that clever fry in the first clip. You might also notice that these tiny babies seem quite large compared to the male’s brood pouch. Adult dwarf seahorses typically grow to about 1.5 inches in length, while this male was barely an inch! This makes their fry look quite sizable in comparison. Dwarf seahorses usually carry a brood of around 10 to 30 fry, which is much smaller than the brood sizes of larger seahorses, that can carry hundreds! 🫧

This video is a favorite of mine, so of course I had to share it again for father’s day!
