WElll, tHEY DO it and then the mom has the babies. The dad comes and takes them to store with him. I think it is either to protect them or so that the mom can have more babies. then the babies hatch and dad keeps them untoil they are full grown.

  1. Like all females, they have eggs, in this situation the males have the pouch for them to develop in. The males are equipped with a pouch on the ventral side of the tail. When they are mating, the female places up to 1,00 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses are fully developed.
