Name

I wonder where the species name kuda comes from. Kuda is "horse" in the Malay language. Is there any connection? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 11:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't doubt it. The genus name, Hippocampus comes from the ancient greek, hippos meaning horse, and kampos, meaning monster. I wouldn't doubt that someone named a new species "horse monster horse". I'll check it out though, and see what I can find...Drew Smith W hat I've done 12:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong distribution map

The map shows distribution on the Pacific coast of the Americas. The description indicates an Indo-Pacific distribution, mostly on the Asian side. Ptilinopus (talk) 11:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hippocampus fuscus redirects to Hippocampus kuda

According to Fishbase.se at "More information", "Taxonomy", "Synonyms" is Hippocampus kuda misapplied for Hippocampus fuscus only on the english language wikipedia. The redirection is therefor confusing as you want to see Hippocampus fuscus and not Hippocampus kuda. I noticed this because several Zoo sites do not recognize that Hippocampus fuscus is a synonym for Hippocampus kuda. The Hippocampus fuscus is a different species and not merged with Hippocampus kuda. I'm not a specialist in the subject of Hippocampus fuscus, but I can read and find information. The information I found does not justify the redirection. I'm afraid that if the redirection is removed there will be no English Wikipedia page for Hippocampus fuscus.
