after doing lots of research for the last year and "practicing" decapping and hatching bbs(easy) i finally took the plunge and bought 6 dwarves which arrived 1 week ago, everything has gone really well and i even got 10 little babies that were born 4 days ago, BUT then yesterday i noticed one of my adults is floating and can not swim, i have read about pouch evacuation but have no idea on how to do it to a seahorse that is so small
can anyone help?
 
I've had this happen from time to time with dwarf seahorses. At least in the cases I've had it happen, it seems to go away on its own in a couple days, unlike with larger species. The only think, I would do is make sure you have nothing that would cause mist like bubbles, and many a partial water change.

Just to make sure is nothing glaringly obvious though, can you post what your set up is (tank size, how long it cycled, temp, water parameters, filtration . . .).
