I'd love to see a pic, as dwarf seahorses are barely an inch big. I could never imagine a dwarf seahorse eating mysis shrimp. Copepods and such, yes, but not a mysis shrimp.

Shrimps and crabs are not safe with any seahorse fry. Most likely, yes, the peps or crab are enjoying a free meal.

Listen to the advice given - 75F maximum, preferably 72F-74F. Despite what the Seahorse Australia website promotes ;)

Also, the "space issue" does not mean total volume of water. Seahorses need...

It is normal for a male seahorse who is due to give birth to become reclusive and/or have a decreased appetite. Personally, I would NOT touch the pouch AT ALL if he is pregnant and expecting.

First off.... are they Northern Erectus (as would be found in the Chesapeake Bay) or Southern Erectus as would be found in Florida or the southern US? There is a huge difference in their fry.
