Seahorses can have up to 1500 fry at one time, depending on the species. They are tiny and difficult to raise in captivity. The best to raise are fry that are benthic, which means they hitch to a piece of algae or coral at birth. Pelagic born fry float freely in the water column for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. These fry are difficult to rear because they come to the water's surface and snick air and then cannot release the air bubble to get back down to the bottom. They require a constant live feeding regimen especially in their early stages. The male seahorse have the young, not the female.
It depend on the species of the seahorse- the smaller species only have up to 20-25, most of the time only 3-4 survive to adulthood, while the larger species have up to around 200-250 offspring with only about 10-14 surviving to adulthood. The SeaFoals surviving to adulthood is only an estimate for those born in the wild, many more can survive in captivity if given proper care in a seahorse-only tank, as in the wild their are other fish who prey on the SeaFoals.
For seahorses, the male carries and eventually produces the child. They have an average of 100-200 at a time, and pregnancy lasts for 2-4 weeks.

A seahorse* can have from 100-1500 babies. Usually it is 100-200, smaller are 5 at a time, finally some are 1500 at a time
Averagly 100-200 for most species, but may be as low as 5 for the smaller species, or as high as 1,500.
