Picking their future mate! :D
Male seahorses have clear program when it comes to choosing a mating partner for increasing their reproductive achievement. Being selective by preferring big females, they will have large eggs and offspring. Seahorses have a perfect reproduction mode. Male seahorses give all post-fertilization parental concern still. In spite of high levels of paternal investment, they have long been thought to have traditional sex roles with females selecting mating partners as well as males rivaling for their concentration. But egg, offspring size and clutch increase with the size of female body in seahorses advising that males can get fecundity advantages by mating with big-bodied females.
One Example of the Common Misconception!
Get it? :D This means that most of the seahorses are POLYGAMOUS instead of monogamous! :D
