Feeding Adult Sea Horses Guppies

[dmcmares24]

Can I feed adult sea horses guppies as an additional food occasionally?

 

[DanU]

Occasionally, yes. Regularly, I wouldn't recommend it.

Will an adult seahorse eat a full sized guppy (~1in)?

What kind of seahorse?

 

[dmcmares24]

My Larger H. Erectus (Lined Sea Horse or Atlantic Sea Horse) which are 4 to 5 inches can eat them whole in one snick!

Wow, I wouldn't have expected them to do that with something so big. Thanks.

I would recommend feeding the guppies on selcon treated foods because otherwise there is very little nutrients in the guppy that marine animals use and therefore they are not a great food source, hence DanU saying he wouldn't recommend regularly feeding guppies to your seahorses
