[scs88]

You shouldnt have bought in the first place... If you are not confident of keeping him...

Anyway, what tankmates are you keeping with him... SH requires a species tank and slow moving tankmates...

It will take sometime to get feeding... Try to feed with small FW shrimp... Do read up more if you wanna keep seahorse... They are delicate creature...

Anyway Upz for your sale... And hope the buyer knows how to keep him...

[scs88]

sianz

cos that day the LCK uncle

i ask him if the SH is in captivity one

he say yes

then i saw him feed brine shrimp

they got eat

then later when i was choosing i ask him to throw some in again o see which SH eats so i can buy those that eat

he reluctant

so i just anyhow choose lo

so now die liao

it dont eat

sighzzz

Try to get those small FW shrimp if you are still keen in keeping him... How long you got it... It dun eat easily if it is stressed... There is alot of factor that make them feel reluctant to eat... Since most of them are feeling liao, it should start feeding if you continue to entice him...

You can easily find FW shrimp at most LFS... Chose a bag with the small shrimps... Or if not packed can ask them to catch smaller ones...

Just drop it near him, it will stalk the shrimp if there is no disturbance....

Btw, its tankmates will play a big part too...

Hi SC88,

i have also purchased from 2 seahorse from LCK last saturday, my is bigger than your !

IMO, select slightly bigger is better, so it is easy to feed with frozen brine shrimp(BS) else you have to look for smaller BS.

My personnel experience,

You can try mixed the frozen brine shrimp with seachem ENTRICE and GARLIC for one day before feeding them. i have personally try it and work for my 5 MI and 2 seahorse lor

My MI eat like pig and the seahorse do eat also, about 6~8 BS per feed, 3 times a day.

Hope it work for u....

[scs88]

tks all for advice

will try to buy malayan shrimps

hope he survives

Brine Shrimp not enough nutrition for the SH... Best to get it feeding on Frozen Mysis...

Hi LoReNsIa,

I know that BS is not so good, but it has to kick starts first lor. If the SH can eat BS, i think it is more easy to try Frozen mysis lor.

Btw, I hv mixed with zooplankton too. Hopefully can train to take pellet formula one dry food!

Hello,

Poor horse is very timid and lonely. You should atleast get 2. Horses don't like fast swimming tankmates. They would compete for food and horses are slow or reluctant in chasing food. Don't mix it with any fast moving fishes if you can. Is easier to train it in a horse tank alone.

I would take it if you are loooooosing interest but must be atleast feeding for past few days.

Cheer!
