BroI feed my seahorses with the mysis that can easily found at wet market (only at tekka market ) Malay call them Grago. For best results need to soak them with selcon for balance diet...

erm.. is it sliver fish? from ur pic it looks like the sliver fish

Bro selcon is concentrated liquid vitamins ...you can get them at reef depot

Emmm how many seahorse you have? anyone eating frozen?

ok for a start feed them with mix frozen and live together...best already soak with selcon ( so later on they will accustomed with frozen when you stop the live...)

Just a practise for me....normally I gently knock the tank 3 times...soon my herds recognized it is feeding time....
