Finally got my SH feeding frozen food..

[blacknails]

Hey guys,

Good news good news... I finally got my SH feeding frozen food!! It's cool looking at them feeding and hunting the frozen shrimps...

But now I was just wondering how often must I feed them? Is twice a day enough to sustain them? Thanks...

[kelstorm]

congrats.. it is indeed a joy to see them finally starts to feed off frozen food.. all the best to u now..

[jas_soh]

was reading in the seahorse forum and learnt that sh may feed a few times a day and they dun take baby brine shrimps...

[chinmo]

Congrats! i tink 2 meals a day will be enough for the SH, wat specis u keeping blacknails?

[blacknails]

Erm... 2 yellow and 1 brown... Normal SH... Was sold to me by one of the reefers in this forum for cheap cheap cause he bought them on impluse and dunno how to keep them. He said he bought one for 15 dollars..

Sorry I do read up on general SH care but don't go as deep to look at the particular species.

So 2 feedings a day is ok? Yey!!

yup... it should be sufficient.. but it depends, i sometimes feed my SH 4 cubes of Mysis in 1 day, spread out into 4 feeding sessions of course..

Hi hi,

My seahorse eats baby brine shrimp but not frozen food! So I gotta keep hatching them!

[chinmo]

tink it be better if u train ur ponies to eat other types of food, bbs alone won't be enough. wat specis u keeping?

[kelstorm]

yes, i agree. Mysis is more nutritious and contains more protein than brine shrimps unless u feed them with baby brine shrimps all the way... which is very tedious... adult brine shrimps do not have the protein level that is required by the SH.. it is more like a snack than anything.

Hi, I was browsing and found this link. I think it may be useful for those struggling to get their SHs to eat.

Hi Just joined this forum today. Have been keeping seahorses since 29/11/03. Anyway, for me I feed my horses twice a day. Was told to feed only six days a week in order for the horses to completely digest all the HUFA.

[ong]

I feed mine once a day, 7days a week but sometime forget to feed.... Anyway, you do the right thing. Welcome to SRC SH forum.......

[reefmonster]

once a day. my two kudas with frozen mysis.

You guys are lucky, can buy mysis shrimps in S'pore. Can't find them in KL and some of the shops have not even heard of mysis shrimps! Can you feed sea horse and sea dragons with cyclop-eeze?

[ong]

Try your wet market - fish stall for fresh small baby shrimp, same as mysis shrimp. cyclop-eeze can but will depend your SH want to eat. Mine don't.

Next time if i go back KL set up shop be assured there will be mysis!

Anyway...seahorses and sea dragons don't eat cyclops...unless they are live.

Where do you get sea dragons from anyway!?

[ong]

sea dragons is another name for green/brown pipe fish. Chinese call sea drangon ma. Not the leafy or weedy sea drangon lah............
