One thing not widely known about seahorses. Their shape enables them to swim close to prey without disturbing the water, this makes then stealthy hunters.
Had no idea they could fit anything up their straw mouths and had no idea how they ate...now I know, and what's more, apparently they have a 99% hunting success rate
Omg!!!!!! Someone has seahorses in the hobby!!!!!!! Their my favorite it’s my dream to own a pair but I don’t have The knowledge and experience and I would be too devastated if I made a mistake.... omg these sea ponies are incredible I would seriously cry if I got to see one in person there so majestic and beautiful animals
One thing cool about sea horses, is that since they're very slow swimmers, they have to make sure that their prey don't escape. Therefore they sucked their prey in so fast that they didn't even realise that their eaten till its too late. I think I watched that in a documentary here in youtube somewhere.
I keep seeing stuff like this and can’t help but wonder if Pygmy seahorses can’t eat guppy fry. That would be such an epic setup and eliminate the constant need for baby brines
It's suction. Their mouths seal tightly and become a vacuum. When they unhinge their mouths, the water surrounding the mouth is instantly sucked into the snout, pulling the target prey into it in an instant. The clicking sound is made by the sudden inflow of water. But it's more than just a byproduct of eating. Seahorses make both "clicking" and "growling" sounds and both sounds appear to be used to communicate with one another like a dog's bark, a bird's tweeting or human speech. Seahorses click more and more loudly during courtship, like birds singing more during their breeding seasons. Seahorses are such wonders of the natural world.
They are literally one of the most savage animals underwater, once i have watched a video of a turtle literally pulling the head out of fish with its mouth... they dont play 😂😂
@@bonesawarm6987 ok no its not cruel. The guppies are cute but I'm not upset because of the adorable sea horses. I am a marine biologist that works at the VA aquarium for fun and went to the Massachusetts colony college for marine biology (the best marine biology school in the US) and I can verify that GUPLIES ARE A PART OF A SEA HORSES DIET. thank you for your non-factual feedback.
Wow did not know seahorses eat fish i always thought they eat small things like brine shrimp because i always thought they had small mouth apparently not.
having no experience with seahorses, do you have a mic on or in the tank? Did you add the sounds when they attack or can you hear that outside of the tank?
Feeding fresh water fish to salt water fish - one that needs.... basically none fresh water fish to thrive... yeah, THAT's gonna keep them healthy. Are you guys even being remotely serious????
TheOpelkoenjas obviously not for every meal the best thing for any animal is a variety of food. An occasional guppy is way healthier than just frozen brine shrimp. Fresh vs saltwater fish doesn't matter I feed my freshwater rays saltwater silversides all the time.
seahorses are very hard to feed, guppyies can live in salt water and are small and cheap. They fill a very hard to find role which is feeding seahorses in a home aquarium. They probably have a whole tank just for guppies that is brackish water for seahorse food since they breed so well.
no they aren't. guppies come from river mouths where the water constantly switches between fresh and salt. ghost shrimp are brackish and won't live their full life span or be able to breed in fresh water.
Sturmtiger230 historian I cracked up at this. I really did. But someone might actually go buy a seahorse and shove it in freshwater because of this comment. They’d have to be incredibly stupid but stillZ
alealejo78 Yeah feeding something live to your fish is cruelty. What do you think would happen in the wild? A bass would instantly suck and munch a fish when it catches it. You call that cruelty?

so they creep on you and unalive you so fast you shadow is left behind
I think the most surprising part is the fact that it makes audible enough noise to hear outside the tank when they suck the fish up. Amazing
Wow! Had no idea Seahorses are such awesome hunters.
Katherine Venes ...they shouldn't BE hunting fw fish esp. a beautiful guppy & platy!
@@sherrieteller4779 aren't those guppies freshwater? And the platies too
Seriously tho ! They are fast af
They have a 90% success rate at hunting. A lion has 30%
I love the little SNICK seahorses make when they eat
When I was a kid in the late 60s, my father bred seahorses. It was an incredible experience that I'll never forget!
what kind of sea horse?
Omg that's so crazy! They're like magicians lmao

Seahorses, while not as typical in most home aquaria, are actually quite common in the home aquarium trade, in general.
I ♥️ them too‼️
Poor shrimp got ganged on lol
But what I find about seahorses amazing as they are more effecient than what I think.

I DID NOT KNOW SEA HORSE EAT FISH & SHIRMP! WOOOW!
I keep seeing stuff like this and can’t help but wonder if Pygmy seahorses can’t eat guppy fry. That would be such an epic setup and eliminate the constant need for baby brines
Sea horses are so cool I want some!!
That snapping noise you hear...
Is that sound their mouths coming
Together and making that snapping sound or are you guys adding the SFx after?
Richie Weir /AuroraNorthImagery all natural sound from their mouths.

Turtle or seahorse? This video is about seahorses. Wondering how turtles are relevant...
Mystery you ate my guppy!
Idk why, but I have fallen in love with this channel!!! +1 sub!
Such beautiful magical animals
Does his predation method suck in the prey?
- Chuan
Yep the speed makes powerful suction that the prey can't escape.
@@CowTurtle I heard that they are fast enough to create a vacuum environment and then suck in it.
- Chuan
Thought sea-horses were like whales only eating plankton etc what a surprising find
what kind of seahorse are they?
Damn they are quick!
them sea horses are gorgeous
They eat guppies? I thought they only eat amphipods and copepods
Would be nice to see a lot more live planting in that tank mimicking their natural habitat
That's a beautiful fish :0
Who would win some of the most well known aquarium fish, or some horsey boi
this video is so brutal
Poor guppies R.I.P :(
Ashton Lovell they are not and it’s cruel
@@bonesawarm6987 Yes they are. How is it cruel? Do you want the seahorse to starve?
@@bonesawarm6987 ok no its not cruel. The guppies are cute but I'm not upset because of the adorable sea horses.

apparently sea horses stuck their food into their mouths when they eat.
How are those guppies surviving in the salt water
Jason Nester if you acclimate them slowly they will survive normally. We just threw these ones in even still they survive for a while.
Cow Turtle ahh cool man
I would love a sea horse they r so cute
how did the guppy not die instantly
Killer Kenny Any fish will survive a few minutes in saltwater. Most livebeares like guppies can survive for life in saltwater.
How are fresh water fish in a salt water tank?
Fresh water fish can adapt to salt water for a while before they die
Anthony atilano damn, thanks man
Also guppies are technically a brackish species anyway.
Is this a salt water tank???
How are the guppies alive in this one???
@Ashton Lovell To be more precise, they can live in brackish water. They can maybe tolerate salt for a few hours (never tried)
What species of seahorses are they?
Atlantic seahorse, Hippocampus erectus
is this a fresh water sea horse?
Nice job. Noobaquarist here
Fastest eater I've ever seen woaahh
wtf i tink this seahorse is most fast hunter in this world dammmmm
A lot of auronplays eating... Amazing...
Why do I feel like sea horses have a big pouch all the time because they can't digest even though they're actually having babies
Probably because they have no stomach and have to feed constantly to stay alive.
what is that? are you pro in editing? good video hehe
yeah, but it looked decent, like it wasnt suffocating. That is really interesting
Guppies can survive just fine in saltwater if acclimated right.
they dont need to be acclimated.Guppies,and other livebearers,can survive in fresh,brakish and in the sea
Fascinating creatures. They have no 'stomach' so must eat almost constantly in order to stay alive.
Wow very cool really
Marvel fans: Endgame is the best crossover in history.
Me:
Like a sea vacuum.
nice I want some🐎
they are literally as fast as light
Light is too slow for them
maybe I should buy a seahorse and feed it to my monster red eared slider turtle and post it on RUclips (:
That'd be an expensive meal.
do it
Daniel Espinoza hellyeah
Daniel Espinoza remind me to never bring my seahorse to your house
Yea
so cute
I like the black one
india holeman the change color...
he ate fish and you said Awesome 😥
Wait in the wild they wouldn’t eat guppies and ghost shrimp they would eat something like other types but your sea horses btw they look nice
now this is a unique way of keeping guppy populations down
Slow swimm but quick aattack
Wow did not know seahorses eat fish i always thought they eat small things like brine shrimp because i always thought they had small mouth apparently not.
Anything that can be eaten by a seahorse will be eaten. By a seahorse.
having no experience with seahorses, do you have a mic on or in the tank? Did you add the sounds when they attack or can you hear that outside of the tank?
Kevin Beas That's the sound my phone picked up it was loud enough to hear through the glass.
why would you do that? poor guppies
huh didnt know they could eat things that big
Poor ghost shrimp :(
Aren't guppies freshwater and seahorses salt
Chitownst1 Gaming yes but guppies can be acclimated to saltwater.
Chitownst1 Gaming and this is just to feed them not keep them
Vacuum cleaners 😅
how the fuck did u get guppies with salt water fish
simple guppies have evolved to live in a variety of saltines cause they live in river mouths where the water constantly changes from fresh to salt.
ben uzun süre deniz iğnesi besledim.Deniz atı içinde her gün taze artemia çıkarmak gerekiyor.
Aren't guppies freshwater
I forgot that these things exist
What are you doing ..cut that smaller ..you very very very intelligent man
Awesome
I would rather feed ghost shrimp because they are cheaper than guppies
THEIR RATING BUBBLE GUPPIES D;
Wow, nice to know, i mean i thought they would be first to die. Thanks

BERONICA ROSALES that’s what they eat
Why is that guppy in saltwater??
Food
That’s what you get for eating your own fry (Don’t take it serious please
wow t just goes in dere
Your supposed to feed them feeder guppies not fancy guppies
SA Vlogs feeder guppies have parasites
@@malnutritionboy unless you quarantine them
Everyone's hunting for Sea horses due to them eating other fish (Cannibals?)
Almost all fish will eat other fish. If it's small enough to fit in their mouth, they'll eat it
public enemy #1
😊
Mystery!
DAAAAAANNNNGGGG
shrimp on the barb
"He's done it hasn't he Whis?"
POor shrimps:(
im horrified lol
Guppies and ghost shrimp are fresh water fish not salt water
no they aren't.
guppies come from river mouths where the water constantly switches between fresh and salt.
ghost shrimp are brackish and won't live their full life span or be able to breed in fresh water.
They’re fucking feeder fish who cares
@@cheeseburger1541 there feed shrimp idiot and the guppy isnt a feeder it's a fancy guppy
Guppies are better than seahorses
no,they really aren't
Little Miss Grizzly Bear, it's an opinion dip shit
Nova Animations that was not an opinion. If he bad said “I THINK guppies are better than seahorses” that’d be an opinion.
Seahorses are great freshwater pets!

Don’t feed them guppies it’s cruel and there is plenty of other food you can give them....
cruel to the guppies or seahorse?
How in the world that seahores can eat that big?!!
Waoo 🐎🌊son unos
Rayos⚡️🐉🌬🐟🦐
Rip
Why are you killing guppies!?!?!?!?! They are animals too. This is animal cruelty!
the sea horse has to eat and you can't save every guppy.
Brianna Harter sorry this message was from a long time ago I have now learnt that you can't save every life.
Pet Lover786 your a nut job
High All Day
Maybe if you weren't high all day, you'd know the difference between "your" and "you're".
You give some, you get some...
Pet Lover786 r/oopsdidntmeanto
The guppies are freshwatet animal cruelty.
Angelu Quijencio They can be acclimated to saltwater.
Angelu Quijencio also little common sense this is just to feed the sea horse he isn't trying to keep then in that tank
I love seahorses but this is cruelty , plane and simple.
*plain
alealejo78 Yeah feeding something live to your fish is cruelty. What do you think would happen in the wild? A bass would instantly suck and munch a fish when it catches it. You call that cruelty?
