We have been on a trip to the Melbourne Aquarium, but now it is time to head for home. We may come back again. But let’s have a quick look at two other intriguing fish.
Alligator pipe fish — another member of the Syngnathidae family, and so related to sea horses and seadragons. (Photo copyright: Anne Lawson, March 2013)
Razor fish — they seem to swim vertically, and there are dozens of them!

And before we leave we have to dash into the gift shop. Which sea horse would you like to take home? A soft toy? A key ring? A snow dome?
A mountain of soft toy sea horses. The orange ones are males. They have the cute little ones in their pouches — more like a kangaroo than a sea horse.

Sea horses marching on to World Domination! Imagine if the world was ruled by sea horses…..

Sea horses in snow domes. I wonder what they think of the snow?

These are my favourites, because they are so incredibly kitsch!

Seahorse. World. Domination. I like the way your mind works 😀
Which souvenir did you buy in the end?

What would a world ruled by seahorses look like? They seem to be solitary little things, so I doubt that they could get their act together to even get together in herds! Souvenir? Take a guess……

In a world controlled by seahorses I bet we would all be put to work in the seaweed farms and being used as human shields to keep away all other predatory fish… 😉
If I was buying a souvenir I think I would have chosen the green seahorse with the staring eyes from the last photo, the pink stuffed seahorses are too horrible to contemplate, they look a bit like My Little Sea Pony!
