The Freshwater Faehorse is a result of a mating of a seahorse with a water sprite. Its body is composed of two distinct parts, the head and the tail. The head is small, round and covered in a variety of colorful scales. It has large eyes that can swivel independently and it uses its long antennas to search for food. Its tail is thin and flexible, allowing it to move quickly through the water.
 
The Freshwater Faehorse is a solitary creature, rarely seen with other species. It feeds mostly on plankton, small crustaceans and insect larvae. Its small size and unique body shape make it well-suited to living in the shallow waters of lakes, streams and ponds. In some parts of its range, the Freshwater Faehorse is threatened by habitat loss due to human activities. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this species and its habitat.
