seahorse on frozen mysis / brine shrimp

[jewelking]

Anyone has any experience in training your seahorse to feed on frozen shrimp ?

care to share ?

Ypu start by mixing the live brine shrimp with frozen over a period of time and reduce the live ones. More frozen till live stops.

the way i do it is feeding them first with live food then by using a long satay stick then dangle the frozen mysis infront of the horses face.....

wat a looooonnnng wait. ......at last horses take on frozen mysis... now let the water current bring the mysis to the horses....

hmmmm.. for mine, for those new comers.. put them in a small place( provided with water currents) den put a food bowl inside.. put the sea horse in.. like wad chinmo has taught mi.. attach a transparent pipe all the way down to the foos bowl.. feed them with gohst shrimps aka fresh water shrimps.. choose the small one.. let the shrimps stay in the bowl.. as the place is small, ur sea horse will spot the shrimps first an they will eat it.. slowly add some mysis with it.. and they will feed frozen soon.. ya.. tt my 2cents..

regards..

Lorenzo..

If your horses enthusiastic in feeding they should last long but most of the time succumbed to diseases, lost of spouses due to separation, congestion in tank, stress due to wrong tank mates, poor water quality and high temp >27 C, etc...
