Riverfront sells ghost shrimp .60 each - never heard of a seahorse taking cyclopeeze. Just acclimate em to the saltwater over a day or so (or just dump em in - SH will have had lunch long before they die anyway).

Unfortunately, what you're experiencing is all too common with seahorses (captive-bred or w/c). The stress of going from the LFS to your tank can be enough to knock them off feed. Especially if they were netted out & exposed to the air. Proper technique is to bag them in the water because if seahorses breath in air, it can easily cause all sorts of problems. With seahorses, it's best to assume the worst & prepare for it. Have the tank set up months in advance with lots of live pods & mysis shrimp breeding in there, just in case they stop eating frzn mysis.

Fortunately, if you can train one to eat frzn foods, it will often train the others just by being an example. Good luck. Also, if they survive & switch to frzn, train them to eat from an elevated feeding station (a little tupperware container at mid-tank). This will make it easier for you to feed the seahorses & reduce the overfeeding & bristleworm outbreaks that are normally associated with seahorse tanks.

Good luck,

Hi Andy,


Riverfront is out of ghost shrimp I called them. I am going to pick up some cyclopeeze today.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Guys,

Good news one was eating frzn mysis this morning from a dish I put in there tank. I will still try some cyclopeeze tonight and I am going to try and find a feeding staion as well.

Thanks for your help.

Eric

I dont know ,if i should chime in since i have never taken care of any Sea horses. How about sticking in some blood wormms in ront of them the look like little worms and they might take to them...



good luck

Thanks for the input,

I talked to my LFS and they are sorry for the mixup and they are going to take back the seahorses and give me a full store credit so I guess they are not a bad place to deal with at all.

Thanks,

Eric

Lets start a group order? I am in for a pair for sure.
