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.

What else can I help you with?
Do female seahorses lay eggs?
The female seahorses give them to the male seahorse.
Do male seahorses die after giving birth?
Male seahorses do not die after giving birth. Unlike most other species, male seahorses have a unique reproductive system where they carry and give birth to the offspring. After giving birth, they can continue to mate and reproduce in subsequent breeding cycles.
What unique behavior do seahorses do?
The male of the species carries the young nd gives birth to them, not the female
What animals depend on seahorses?
Parrotfish actually help them give birth so what they do is there are 2 of them and one let's the seahorse lean and the second circles around the seahorse and the no. 1 parrotfish looking for any predators.
What is an example of an androgynous animal?
A seahorse is an example of an androgynous animal because both male and female seahorses can give birth. In seahorses, the male carries the fertilized eggs in a pouch until they are ready to hatch.
What is the role of seahorse sexuality in their unique reproductive behavior?
Seahorse sexuality plays a crucial role in their unique reproductive behavior. Unlike most animals, male seahorses carry and give birth to their offspring. Female seahorses transfer their eggs to the male's brood pouch, where they are fertilized and develop until birth. This process is dependent on the mating rituals and courtship behaviors of seahorses, highlighting the importance of their sexuality in their reproductive success.
Do female seahorses give birth in a unique way compared to other species?
Yes, female seahorses give birth in a unique way compared to other species because they transfer their eggs to the male seahorse's pouch, where he fertilizes them and carries the developing embryos until they are born. This process is called male pregnancy.
How do animals produce other animals?
The girls give birth to them, and then they are a baby. But boy seahorses give the baby instead of the girl.
Witch seahores have babies?
Male seahorses do not give birth. Instead, female seahorses deposit their eggs into the male's brood pouch. The male will then fertilize and carry the eggs until they hatch, and he gives birth to live young seahorse larvae.
What is it about the reproduction of seahorses is so different to other animals?
Male seahorses give birth.
Does the male seahorse give birth and care for the offspring"?
Yes, the male seahorse gives birth and cares for the offspring.
Do only the male seahorses' give birth?
yes
