I had to wipe the tears of laughter from “multiple tank syndrome”. I agree, laughter is good for what ails you and if nothing ails you, then you should feel blessed.
Right now I am very blessed to be in such good health. My hubby keeps me laughing even after 37 years of marriage so thats another reason I am blessed.
I don't know for sure about the low oxygen but most are not free swimming. They populate in areas where there is excess uneatten food or detritus laying around. Usually that is at the base or crevises if rock. They enter the seahorse through the gills, cuts or abrasions to the skin ( which would have to be in the water column) or on decaying food and settle in the gut. Seahorses are very vulnerable in these 3 areas.
