Hippocampus kuda, also known as the

Hippocampus kuda, also known as the common seahorse, estuary seahorse, or yellow seahorse is a member of the family Syngnathidae (seahorses and pipefishes) of the order Syngnathiformes.[2] The common sea horse is a small, equine-like fish, with extraordinary breeding methods.[3] Greeks and Romans believed the seahorse was an attribute of the sea god Poseidon/Neptune, and the seahorse was considered a symbol of strength and power. Europeans believed that the seahorse carried the souls of deceased sailors to the underworld - giving them safe passage and protection until they met their soul's destination.[4] The common seahorse is considered a vulnerable species.[1]

Reproduction[edit]
The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch on his lower abdomen. After courtship the pair come close together so that the female's oviduct is close to, if not resting on, the brood pouch of the male, and the female expels some eggs into the pouch. This happens several times until spawning is complete. The male then wiggles about, as if to rearrange the eggs within his pouch. The exact point at which fertilization takes place is not known, though many assume that it occurs while the eggs are in the pouch. The incubation period is generally four to five weeks. To "give birth" the male bends forwards and then backwards, thrusting his pouch forward expelling one or two youngsters with explosive force. Raising the fry in an aquarium is difficult, as they require a large amount of minuscule live food.[5]

Range and habitat[edit]
The common seahorse can be found in a variety of habitats in the shallow coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, including coral reefs, muddy slopes, and shallow estuaries.[2][3] The common seahorse has been observed to use its prehensile tail to anchor itself to coral branches or floating sargassum in the wild.[2][5]

Physical description[edit]
The sea horse's swimming position is vertical, with slight forward or backward inclinations, in the direction of travel. The body is covered with armored plates. An equine-like head set at right angles to the body ends in a long tubular snout. A bony "coronet" may develop on the head.[3] The male seahorse broods fertilized eggs in a small pouch in its lower abdomen. Females are slightly smaller.[3]

In aquaria[edit]

A common seahorse anchored to coral
Common seahorses have very small mouths, eating only small animals like brine shrimp and even newborn guppies. Seahorses need to eat frequently—4-5 times a day. Many aquarists who have kept this species cultivate their own brine shrimp, and rotifers. Daphnia is eaten when other foods are unavailable.[5]

Seahorses spend most of their time anchoring to coral reefs and branches with their tails, made necessary because they are poor swimmers. The need similar anchor points in aquaria. Seahorses like a quiet tank, without large, belligerent fish, and a slow-moving current. Aquarists have found them to be generally accepting of tankmates like Synchiropus splendidus (Mandarinfish) and other bottom dwelling fishes.[5]

Temperature, pH, and salinity[edit]
Common seahorse generally do best at a temperature of 72–77 °F (22–25 °C), optimally 73–75 °F (23–24 °C). They do not tolerate even spikes above 80 °F (27 °C) well.[6] Their optimal pH range is around 8.1-8.4.[7] The common seahorse can tolerate a range of salinity from 18 parts per thousand (ppt) to 36 ppt but salinity below about 25ppt should be promptly corrected. About 32 ppt is ideal.[8]

Conservation[edit]
The common seahorse (H. kuda) is considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN[1] and therefore international trade of this common aquarium species has been monitored by CITES since 2004. The common seahorse is now commercially cultured to help cope with the demand for seahorses for traditional Chinese medicines, souvenirs, and the aquarium industry.[2]
