An aldosterone test measures the level of aldosterone (a hormone made by the adrenal glands), in the blood. Aldosterone helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body. This helps control blood pressure and the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the blood. The kidney hormone renin normally stimulates the adrenal glands to release aldosterone.
A seahorse* can have from 100-1500 babies. Averagly 100-200 for most species, but may be as low as 5 for the smaller species, or as high as 1,500. Seahorses can have up to 1500 fry at one time, depending on the species. They are tiny and difficult to raise in captivity.
Seahorses are known for their proclivity of having hundreds of babies when you least expect it. You just walked by your tank to discover dozens, if not hundreds of tiny seahorses drifting around your aquarium. These miniature copies of the adults caught you off guard, and now youâre not sure what to do.
