We had our seahorses for close to a year..when we first bought them from the petstore we thought the pair had no chance of survival since they werent eating
at all in the start. We kept feeding mysis shrimp and eventually they starting eating it and were thriving. Many many batch of young babies all the time even got a couple to reach about an inch or 2! but then we had problems with feeding them and the baby ponies eventually died. We decided to get another seahorse a yellowish one (pair were black) dont remember names..but that one quickly died due to not eating anything! I must say though its really neat whatching the young burst out of the males pouch and a cloud of babies swimming around. Been about 2 yrs since i had some again but its definitely something i will use my 50g breeder for in the future
after my 90g reef. Only thing i found hard about seahorses was being able to get them to eat.. once you got them eating i found its pretty simple. You should definitely give it a try though its well worth it.
