Seahorse

The Seahorse is a type of fish found in the ocean at any time of the day, between the months of April and November. It has a tiny shadow size, the same size as the Clownfish and Surgeonfish. It sells for 1,100 Bells in and, and 1,500 Bells in

In they are very stubborn, and only take the bait if it is literally directly in front of them. The time frame between the strike and the fish fleeing is also very short and close to that of rare fish. Despite all this, they are very easy to find, and are the only tiny-sized ocean fish to occur in.

Donating to the Museum
Upon donating to the Museum, Blathers will say;

In City Folk
"This creature is covered in hard scales that suggest a relation to crabs or shrimp, but it's a proper fish. That said, it's a dreadful swimmer and can't usually move against powerful currents, eh wot? In such environments, the sea horse will cling to kelp and stay there until the waters calm a bit... Seeing those little fellows holding on for dear life makes me want to cheer them on! Cling, sea horse!"

It can be found in the bottom-right tank with the other small, ocean fish like the Clownfish and Sea Butterfly.

Further Information
There are many species of seahorse in existence, so judging by the coloration and look of the Animal Crossing seahorse, it could possibly be a Red Oceanic Sea Horse. The males carry the eggs in a brood poach located under the tail. It is a harmless fish, popular in private and public aquariums.
