Question
I'm a freshman working on a science project dealing with seahorses and their environment.  I was wondering if you knew the salinity of the water for mustang seahorses and any other valuable information you're willing to give me would be just great.
thanks =)
Brittany.

Answer
Seahorses are my favorite saltwater animals!

The salinity is normally anywhere from 1.020 to 1.024 for a seahorse.

Some more information:

1)They live clenched onto the blades of macro algae to keep from drifting away in the current.

2) The male is the one who gets pregnant and takes care of babies

3) Male horses have a pouch on their belly for the babies
