How do I tell the difference between male and female seahorses? | ||||
|
The males have a gradual slope (the pouch) from the belly to the tail, whereas the females have about a 90-degree angle where the belly meets the tail. Also, the anal fin on the female is located under the belly and points straight down, whereas on the male it is higher up near the opening of the pouch.
However, keep in mind that all young seahorses look like females. Males typically don't develop pouches until approximately 4-6 months of age. Related Topics: | ||||
