Post what you need help with. I myself have no experience with seahorses, so I really can't help. But maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

seahorse.com is a seahorse farm on the big island of Hawaii. They breed seahorses. You can try to contact them. I have been there and they are nice people and very knowledgable. Hope this will help.

I used to keep seahorses for a long time. I loved them, but yes, many "difficulties" with keeping them. And, I too had to "burp" one. Seems no matter how much you do it, it keeps coming back or can't get it all. I would just do what you can and hope for the best. I tried all the medicines and such..."burping" seems to be the only way. Best help is on the internet. Research, research...

Someone's clownfish swallowed a bubble and starting swimming weird. The clown eventually got rid of the bubble and was fine.

Not sure if that is relevant, but maybe it will figure it out on its own?

Seahorses are susceptible to "gas bubble disease" which is caused by a vibrio bacterial infection. This bacteria multiplies faster than the fish's immune system can fight it off when temperatures are at or above 74 degrees.
