They might take some frozen finely chopped mysis or brine shrimp. Live baby brine shrimp would be better, and your best bet is probably to buy some tigger pods.

do they eat rotifers also? or is that just baby clowns?

btw, someone is going through this on saltwaterfish.com as well, may want to go to their seahorse/pipefish forum and read up on it.

Freshly hatched baby brine should do but only until their egg sacks are depleted. After that, they pretty much contain no nutrition. Buy and hatch decapsulated brine shrimp eggs if you can.

Yes Vert57

I am always more than happy to help!

What breed are the seahorse fry? If the brine shrimp are too large then they will need to be fed enriched live rotifers. If they have not ben eating you don't have very much time

I have some in stock if you need them and I am in Southington not very distant! What type of set up do you have the fry in

Hope to be of help
