To feed or not to feed

[cuda6872]

Any thoughts or opinions on this would be nice as I'm up in the air about doing it. I have a breeding pair of O.clownfish & the fry never last more than 2 nights in my reeftank. The thought occured to me last week after another batch hatched & met their demise in the circle of life inside my reeftank. Why not catch the little boogers & put them in the seahorse tank. Only 2 problems I see with this is

1. some live & grow too large and fast for the 1yr old Kuda. (not a real problem, just catch & sell them)

2. If he likes them & stops eating mysis.

Like I said this is just a wild idea that came to me out of the blue yet still sparked my curiousity. Has anybody tried anything like this?

I used to have a few piars of mollies in my tank for the same reason. Even though the seahorses were WC's, they never recognized the fish fry as food . JME

"You can always try and see if the seahorse will eat them. Some seahorse have been know to take fish fry others don't. If he only gets them as an occassional treat it's unlikley he'll go off the frozen mysis compleatly. My seahorses get live treat every week or two and still that the frozen just fine. But I guess it is a risk...all horse are differnet.
