Talk:Common seadragon

Added link to educational page aimed at high school level

The web site added contains enough data for school type projects etc. The top level page is here, http://users.bigpond.net.au/je.st/index.html, to see similar pages on cuttlefish etc. All photos are referenced to author other than our own ones. --Glandelf 13:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Capitalization

Is it "Weedy Sea Dragon" or "Weedy sea dragon"? The article is rather inconsistent. howcheng {chat} 16:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow

I gotta say, this is the coolest animal I have ever seen. Gozel ^talk 00:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Number of species, rare reproduction in captivity

The body of this article and the one on leafy sea dragons indicates that each is a solitary member of its respective genus but is unclear about what taxon they share and whether that is a sea dragon taxon as such or they simply share similar common names. It would be nice to see a clarification of this.

Also, it's apparently rare for these creatures to reproduce in captivity, but there is now (June 2008) a "pregnant" male weedy sea dragon in a Georgia aquarium: http://wral.com/news/strange/story/3034761/

Any update on the pregnant sea dragon? Its eggs were supposed to hatch last summer.Wkharrisjr (talk) 19:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Phyllopteryx dewysea

Hi, this article will need revision as this genus now has another species, Phyllopteryx dewysea.

"Seadragons, seahorses and pipefish are among the few known species where the male carries the eggs"

I presume this should say "genera". Are there any other genera or species outside these genera where the male carries the eggs? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

It's the whole family. The sentence looked like a random addition, and didn't contribute to the surrounding text, so I removed it. Rhinopias (talk) 23:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
