Seahorse has a pouch on its belly with eggs
Seahorses lay eggs rather than giving live birth. Although, strangely enough, the female will transfer the eggs to a special brood pouch on the male and the male will carry the eggs until they hatch. The male then "gives birth" to the young. This reproductive method confused scientists for years. This unusual mode of reproduction is the most extreme form of male parental care yet discovered, although it arises from a general bias towards paternal care among fishes.

Seahorse has a pouch on its belly with eggs
Seahorses lay their eggs underwater because they can't breathe on land.
eggs
The female seahorses give them to the male seahorse.
No, they are kind of like marsupials and have a pouch for their eggs
Male seahorses dont lay eggs the female passes the fertilized eggs to a pouch in his abdomen where they hatch and he then gives"birth" to the babies.
when the seahorses are mating the female seahorse puts about 1500 eggs into the male seahorses pouch. The male seahorse carries the eggs for 4 to 45 days and then releases the seahorses into the water and leaves them.
it depends on the type of fish fish like sharks give birth to live young and fish like clown fish lay eggs
All fish lay eggs, however some fish retain these eggs inside them until they hatch (they are ovoviviparous). Hammerhead sharks do this and with seahorses the female transfers the eggs to the male for incubation.
Key word there: Male. Females lay eggs. On rare occasions in nature, like penguins and seahorses, males hatch them. It's the way God made genders
Most of them aren't. There are a few exceptions (sharks, seahorses..) but most of them lay eggs. Methods vary, some species fertilize the eggs after they're laid(salmon for instance), some will mate first, and then lay fertilized eggs.
Not all seahorses are males. They can't be because the males are the ones who get pregnant
The mother seahorses that tried to carry the eggs were not competitive with the mother seahorses who deposited their eggs in the brood pouches of the male seahorses. The genes of the ones who had more offspring survived.
