Yo bro...I got a bottle of selcon used for mysis enrichment. About 80-90% unused. Do let me know if you interested. Can let go to you cheap.

[ong]

I feed with mysis - frozen, somtime brought fresh from wet market and fresh water glass shrimp.

[kelstorm]

[chinmo]

mine up till today still refuse to eat frozen...so i feed like brine shrimp....feeder glass shrimps and baby guppies...

Use to enrich with Selcon but now....just let them eat 'plain'. May be that the reasons why my 1.5-2yrs old H.Redi ma-di for no reasons........

Do you guys in Singapore get fish food (pellets) manufactured by Ocean Nutrition which includes GARLIC in their formula?

[chinmo]

think we have it in singapore, but u mean feeding the pellets to sh or feeders?

I meant garlic is part of the pellet formula which is all in the pellets

[chinmo]

erm.... i doubt that seahorse will take pellets, if they do, think sh won't be endangered oredi.

[chinmo]

can! they r still shrimps, but they be supa dupa expensive feeders lor.....

[FuEl]

Yamatos are too big..the malayan shrimp would be better sized if you can get the smallest ones. Much cheaper too.

But don't recommend feeding freshwater shrimp....the only freshwater shrimp I find suitable for them in the long run is P.E mysis collected from lakes...and that is provided the mysis is enriched. They also have softer exoskeletons which are less likely to injure a seahorse during ingestion..

Would be good if you can get marine mysis. Watercircle used to sell them. If possible try to culture them.

Expensive man... You very rich huh... Just get those small glass shrimp lar...

[chinmo]

latest info, don't think there's P.E mysis liao... heard from friend they stop importing....

[chinmo]

will malayan breed in fresh water? i nw then know yamato need brackish water to reproduce and the shrimps fries must be raise in marine water! so troublesome!

then i do not have the right mind then..... i do not feed then with cherrys, but was hoping the cherrys will breed till one day they able to substain some of the picky non frozen converted sh!

[FuEl]

malayan shrimp should breed in F.W....saw mine with eggs before..but once hatch rather hard to spot the babies esp in a densely planted tank. If you have fish most likely the babies would be doomed.

Huh..stopping import of P.E mysis? It's good stuff man...still got one big pack in my freezer..everything loves it. Including pygmy rasboras.. Anyway...if no more P.E mysis then settle for the hikari brand..wat to do? Or you take over as the distributor here lor.

[chinmo]

okie, maybe i give the malayan a chance... think they shld breed faster than the cherrys! don wan lah, by the time it reach to sing, the P.E nt fresh liao!

seldom pple will decap lah..... where got time..

They are vacuum packed like the frozen slabs of cyclopeeze..so should'nt be a problem.

[chinmo]

1 dollar a cherry u wanna feed to sh ar..... i heartache leh... wait till they reach thousands first b4 they end up as feeders!

[yuji]

my tigertails don't eat ghost shrimps, so i gotta feed brine shrimps. even then, they are picky and eat only 1 or 2.

i tried to feed bbs, but its too impossible (i have to switch off my filter), although they take it slightly more readily than brine.

sigh...

[BlueKing]

Sorry, have to ask this...

To feed sh freshwater shrimp or guppies, it isn't the freshwater shrimp will die when it goes into marine tank? Will sh eat dead body (I mean the shrimp)or not?
