Is this a male seahorse? If so, he may have air in his pouch and you will have to do an evacuation. A description of how to do this has been posted in this forum sometime in the last week so you can look for it.

I have never had this problem so I can't help you directly. Hopefully someone else will come along soon. In the mean time, look through the old posts.

Confused by the language.

At this point I would suggest the emergency forum on seahorse.org.

well,
luckly he isnt floating anymore... i guess he got the air out or something... thanks guys..
also i meant the air wasnt in his pouch.. and that it was somewhere in his head

Thats very odd. I'm glad she is no longer floating though. Is she eating now?

yes.. she/he is eating very well
