Typically, only tigertail is the difficult one to get feeding on frozen, need a bit of luck.. The other species are quite easy, just a bit of hoaxing and training.. I wun recommend beginners to start on Seahorse as it requires more experience to try these difficult fellows..

IMHO, go for CB seahorse..It's easier to train them feeding on frozen mysis !

You might want to consider asking the seller whether are the SH feeding on mysis. That will be much easier for you when it comes to feeding.

you need a dedicated tank for your seahorse. They are extremely slow eater and especially so if you want to train them to feed on frozen you need to release the food in front of them to "Tempe " them to feed . Although some reefer mention that soaking the frozen mysis with Gallic will help as well.
