Dear Lucienne:

Dear Lucienne:

I’m very sorry to hear about the problems with pouch gas your stallion experienced, but that’s a common problem for male seahorses that are actively breeding.

I will send you an e-mail off list with a document attached that is devoted to the subject of preventing gas bubble syndrome so that you can download the document, save it on your computer, and read through the information at your convenience. It discusses what causes gas bubble disease and explain some of the things home aquarists can do to help prevent GBD from recurring, so you should find it to be helpful, but the document is much too large to be posted here on this forum.

Best of luck avoiding such problems in the future, Lucienne, and again, all my condolences for your loss!

Respectfully,
Pete Giwojna, Ocean Rider Tech-Support
