Feeding Dwarf (Zosterae) Seahorses

[loganbug3]

I plan on getting two H. Zosterea Seahorses. They will be the only fish in my Nano tank so I don't have to worry about compatibility, but I'm not sure how to feed them live brine shrimp. I'm new to seahorses and would appreciate any advice or tips. Everything is appreciated!

When you feed zots, you feed the live enriched one or two day old brine with a snowball effect. Pour is in the tank creating a little snow storm. What size tank do you have? Can you describe the set up? Dwarfs are a lot of work, daily water changes and cleaning up of old brine is needed... If you are considering them a starter seahorse, I would recommend a larger species. If you do get them, make sure if they are not CB that you deworm them for the 9 weeks.

They will be in a Nano tank, most likely pretty small. I know they need live brine, I guess what I need to know is how to feed it live?

And they are Captive Bred

You have to hatch brine shrimp from eggs and feed it newly hatched, or ideally, feed it after they are 24-48 hours old and have been enriched. You can't buy/feed adult brine. VERY difficult to keep dwarfs in a tiny tank as water parameters deteriorate quickly with the die-off of the bbs.
