*PICS* Sex My Seahorse!!!!

[Big Brother]

looked up how to sex them, and it appears to be female because of its body shape, but it looks like it has a brown marking where a pouch would be, i think it may be an immature male.

i can take clearer pictures if need be.


you can clearly see the body shape

The brown marking is right in the middle of the curve (C curve) of his body

thanks in advance!

It looks like a young guy. Honestly, from here it could be either or.
However i see the dark spot in the second pic that looks like a pouch forming. Your guess is as good as mine, give him a few more months.
Cute, whatever he\she is.

That's a female. The 'brown spot' is normal coloration on some females.

Deffinately a pretty little female.

How big is your horse? It appears to be a larger juvie or young sub-adult so I am assuming it should have grown it's pouch if it were a boy. If she is at least 2.5-3" in height I would say positively a girl.

I'm not sure either, wait a little while longer.

The first pic screams female to me. Ill agree with the person above if it is 2.5-3inches already than you got a little girl!

Yep, female all the way.
