Tim, while enrichment of the brine shrimp is an excellent move, medicine uptake of the brine is just gut loading meds, not enrichment.
The protocol for protozoans would require a 3 drug, 9 week treatment as found on seahorse.org. Even after this treatment, success in mixing the different sygnathids is not guaranteed to be without losses.
As for enrichment, it's always a good idea, but Dans Feed from seahorsesource.com is the best you can buy for syngnathidae.
Also, it stores longer than the selco/selcon emulsions and has a higher DHA profile than even DHA Selcon has.
