Super Seahorses

Introduction
Finding Food
Seahorses have a smart way of getting prey. Seahorses are opportunistic hunters. For example, instead of venturing out looking for specific types of food, they'll catch and snack on whatever happens to be floating around. Also, seahorses can blend into their environment, however, they find a spot where they can quietly wait for prey to swim by.
Body Structure
The features of a seahorse is very thorough because it is simple and easy. You'll be shocked to learn that unlike most other fish, seahorses have an exoskeleton. The bodies are made up of hard, external, bony plates that are fused together with a fleshy covering. They also don't have scales.
Habitat
The habitat of a seahorse is very peculiar. Seahorses live in shallow, weedy areas, especially eelgrass beds. Can you imagine that in the winter theses creatures move into deeper waters to escape the rough weather? Their beautiful habitats include coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, and estuaries. That is thrilling to live in!
Closing
A seahorses life seems very pleasant. Seahorses are most of the time, shrewd. This sensational animal is very majestic, intriguing, and gorgeous to look and learn about! I love the way they change color so they will not be noticed by predators! As a result, seahorses are a lot of fun to learn about!

I chose a Strawberry Dottyback, 2 Cerith Snails, Green Female Crown Betta, Domino Damsel, Yellowtail Blue Damsel, 2 Blue Female Veiltail Bettas, and a Silver Hatchet Fish. The subtotal of inches of fish is 16 inches. The total of money is $33.07 dollars. It was so much fun to buy my own fish tank and fishes!
