Sea Horse Is a Fish The sea horse is a fish, but a very strange kind of fish. It spends almost all the time in an upright position, with its head up and its tail down. With the tail it can do something which the common fish Acan't sea do. It can cling to a weed. horse swims while in upright position. A fin on the back is moved to give forward motion, and this fin haa been compared to a propeller. It does not look or turn jurt like a propeller, but it gives about the same result. An air sac, or swim bladder, helps the sea horse keep in balance. Most of the time, however, the fish holds tightly to a seaweed, wrapping its tail around in spiral fashion.
