Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.

Hippocampus erectus sind eine der größer werdenden Seepferdchen-Arten. Frostfutterfeste Nachzuchten sind recht leicht zu pflegen, wenn die Besonderheiten für Seepferdchen beachtet werden.
Ich selbst halte 200 Liter für die absolute Mindestbeckengröße für diese Art und ein Paar.
Bei Gruppenhaltung oder wenn es mehrere Paare sind, dann gerne 350 Liter aufwärts.

Juvenil sehen alle wie Weibchen aus. Die Geschlechter bilden sich in der Regel zwischen 6 und 9 Monaten sichtbar heraus.

Juvenile haben häufig richtig lustige Zotteln, die sich im Erwachsenenalter verlieren.
