The seahorse fry don't eat phyto. You put phyto in to keep the rotifers fed and to process ammonia produced by the fry wastes and rotifer wastes.
I also use Cloram-X in the water as an insurance. Ammonia in very minute amounts is VERY deadly to the fry.
You don't want "ever so slowly" bubbles, you need to make the water turbulent enough so that they cannot swim where they want, which is many times to the water surface where they ingest air and eventually perish.
They will have no problem feeding on the rotifers in this turbulance if your feed density of the rotifers is sufficient. It makes for heavy use of phyto and rotifers though as I do complete water changes every two days with new rotifer food and phyto.
The fry I got from Ryan here in London on Feb. 9 2009, are now over 11 months old and I've been selling them off for a while now.
Good luck!!
