Sea horses are very difficult to feed as they take such microscopic foods and feed constantly. I don't keep them so can't help you further sorry.

depending on size they require a lot of small live food such as newly hatched brine shrimp and mysis and as Caryl said they feed constantly. Providing these foods daily is the hardest part apparently. To my knowledge larger specimens don't take frozen food

i used 2 have 3 in a tank and they feed happily on frozen brine shrimp but the problem that i had was tha my tank was so large and seahorses are lazy so i hd to put in alot of food for them 2 b able eat wot flated past there mouth, so my experence tels me that wot would be best would b a smallish tank with heaps!! of filteration (for frozen foods), but if you could hatch your own brine shrimp which would last a little while swiming around in your tank giving your seahorses a chance to eat them before they fal to the bttum and start rotting like frozen ones. ell thats wot i think anyway hope it helps.

we have 4 potbellies in a 100litre tank, they live on frozen brine or mysis and very rarely a feed of live brine. Have noy had problems with them feeding but they would not cope with tank mates as slow eaters
