High hopes for breeding Fota’s new stable of seahorses

Fota Wildlife Park is planning to breed seahorses following the arrival of a dozen juveniles which are sure to become a big attraction at its Tropical House.

Seven male and five female pot-bellied seahorses, one of the largest breeds of seahorses in the world, have been acquired by the Co Cork wildlife amenity from L’ Oceanográfic in Valencia, Spain.
