I have 7 seahorses well over two years old. One is “playing dead” on the tank bottom gripping tightly to rocks or laying down on the sand(curling up not wanting to uncurl easily, not eating. labored breathing. (he is brown in color) The other is yellow looks great and is eating but seems to have negative buoyancy, he stays on the bottom breathing seems ok, his pouch is dark yellow/gold. I am wondering if its a pouch full of dead eggs. belly is extended somewhat. on the 1st male i am at a total loss. I do have pictures if that will help
Please advise
