Question Seahorses

Did anyone else pick up seahorses from Golds last week. They are supposed to be eating frozen food, as captive raised adults, but mine have not seemed to go for it. I have tried frozen shrimp, and cyclopeeze. And I have now got some brine shrimp growing up in a culture for them. Did anyone else buy any? Have you had luck with feeding something?

Seahorses are notoriously difficult to get eating - and while they were taking frozen mysis at the store, the change in environment is enough to cause a hunger strike.

If you can't get them eating within a few days, shoot me a pm. I've had some fairly good success getting SH's who are refusing to eat, back into shape by placing them with some horses who are acclimatized and eating.
