The male seahorse will always get pregnant the only thing that the female does is hand the eggs to the male. At first the male and the female enter into a "true courtship dance" during the dance (which last about 8 hrs.) the male pumps his brood pouch with water so when he receives the eggs from the female the eggs can move smoothly throughout the pouch. The female can insert up to a # of 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. You can say at first the female seahorse is pregnant, but she is not the one that gives birth the male actually gives birth to the seahorses always, but when the female is ready to deliver the eggs to the male as her stomach goes down the male's stomach is bloating. Also before they mate they do something called court which last for seven days. Also when the female is ready to deposit the eggs the seahorses might change color, grasp each others tails, swim side by side or grasp the same strand of seagrass.
