I got this from a local frag place that had it in a 10Gallon tank with some algae and pipe fish. I have no clue what sex nor species it is. I looked alot and think maybe Kuda?
It's kinda hard to get the cam to focus in the tank to the right spot. I have other pics I just took if anyone is interested in helping, just let me know your email to send them to.
it looks to me like a male and you could be right about it being a kuda or it could rainbow brumby. Have a look to see if it has a pouch if so a male females have ridges all the way down the front of the body males have ridges half way down then smooth out for the pouch. Hope this helps
I have had a male rainbow brumby and it was beautiful but the tank wasn't set up right and he passed away. I have 2 female zebra nosed (barbouri) who have great personalities.
Usual seahorse identification will focus on 4 main parts, the snout, coronet, belly, and dorsal fin. I am sorry i can't help right now, my seahorse material is in storage.
Well I dono everyone has a different opinion about what it is. And for those who need scientific names I thought it was a Hippocampus kuda, also known as the common seahorse, which is a member of the family Syngnathidae of the order Syngnathiformes.
I have been told by SeahorseSource though they think it's a Hippocampus erectus, also known as the Lined seahorse, which is a member of the family Syngnathidae of the order Hippocampinae. I dono it gets along with everything in the tank and is doing very well, it eats everything so it's all good. I have determined it's a boy though so I am looking for females now if anyone knows where I can ge some resonably priced.
