training seahorse to feed on frozen mysis


Recommended Posts

hi,

was thinking about keeping a seahorse or two. any idea on how it can be trained to feed on frozen mysis? :ThanxSmiley:

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..

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.
