Food for new baby seahorses

[mpruitt307]

I just got a batch of tiny seahorses approx. .5-1 inh and they won't eat brine which i feed my other larger horses and pipefish. Any suggestions?

We need to know the species.

If they are unable to eat newly hatched artemia(bbs) because they are too large, then you need to get some rotifers and offer these.

I honestly don't know I bought them tank raised rom a guy for a great price. I was trying to feed them thawed out frozen brine i don't think thats the same thing you thought was it?

You need live food - not thawed frozen food.

You need live newly hatched brine shrimp which takes 20-24 hrs to hatch at 70-80 degrees. If your horses are from a smaller species you may have to get rotifers. If you can get roti's they will buy you some time 'til the BBS hatch. The seahorse fry are good fo 12-24 hrs without food, but after 24 is pushing it.
