Pouch Evacuation
Well, just had to do my first pouch evacuation on one of my male seahorses. Its called Pouch Emphysema. In a nutshell its when a male seahorse get a gas bubble(s) built up inside his brood pouch. You have to hold him and squeeze it out. Being the first time found it nerve racking. But I did manage to get air bubbles to come out, so I'll wait and see if his buoyancy is better. He could'nt stay upright anymore.I'll let him pout for the night and see tomorrow.
