Usama has a passion for video games and a talent for capturing their magic in writing. He brings games to life with his words, and he’s been fascinated by games for as long as he’s had a joystick in hand.

When you begin your new life in Heartopia, fishing quickly becomes one of the most peaceful and rewarding hobbies in the game. Even though it is simple to start, completing your aquatic collection is a long-term goal. Some creatures are easier to find than others, and a few give players a really hard time.

Among these aquatic treasures is the Seahorse, a delicate and enchanting catch that feels like something straight out of a storybook. While it’s available early in the game, many players miss it simply because they don’t know where to look or when it appears. Read on to learn how to find and catch the Seahorse in Heartopia.

Heartopia: Cooking Hobby Guide

Cooking in Heartopia is more than just making meals. When done right, it can perfectly synergize with your other hobbies.

Where to Find Seahorse in Heartopia

The Seahorse is available surprisingly early in your Heartopia journey. It only requires Fishing Level 1. This means you can begin hunting for it as soon as you unlock the fishing rod during the tutorial.

Here are its exact spawn conditions:

Name	Location	Time of Day	Weather Conditions	Level Required
Seahorse	Whale Sea	12 AM – 6 PM	Sunny, Rainy, Rainbow	Level 1

Catching the Seahorse early on not only fills your journal but also teaches you the patience and timing needed for rarer sea creatures later in the game.

How to Catch a Seahorse

Catching a Seahorse follows the same mechanics as any other fish:

Equip your fishing rod from your toolbox.
Approach the shadow of the seahorse in the water.
Cast your line just in front of the seahorse so it notices the lure.
Once it bites, press and hold the reel input.
Watch your line carefully. When it turns red and begins flashing, release briefly to ease the tension, or the line will snap.
Reel again once the color stabilizes. Repeat until the Seahorse is safely yours.
