This guy's stomach look OK?

[Northside Reef]

Hopefully these come out OK, does this seahorse's stomach look normal?

He looks swollen to me. He's either inflated to impress a girl, or pregnant
Keep a close eye on him, just in case of GBD, but as long as his behavior and buoyancy are normal I wouldn't worry.

I see nothing at all wrong with it at this time.
I'm assuming you mean pouch not stomach.

I guess I did , it just looked swollen to me and I've read so much about bloat that it had me worried. I do not remember him looking like that I got him. Maybe just maturing?

He seems healthy and he's expecting me to feed him since I'm near the tank. I guess I am still just a newb to these guys.

Thanks guys

Seahorses can sometimes drive you nuts until you learn all their intricacies. Generally, unless they are having buoyancy issues, you don't have to worry too much about their pouch swelling. Sometimes they will fill the pouch with water looking like they are pregnant. Coloration as long as it is symmetrical is usually a pigmentation change. When it is not symmetrical, it is usually something that should be looked at closer.
