Hey guys thanks for the replies. The seahroses are housed in a 65 gallon tank with pipefish. I have had seahorses for about a year now. I had 4 Kudas until a couple of days. The seahorses I bought are Barbouri. They were listed as fancy seahorses but I know a barbouri when I see one and I also know I may never see one again. They are quite large, actually the biggest horses in my tank and should have no problem eating all frozen foods that I have. They are absolutly one hundred percent not interested in frozen. I bought them small ghost shrimp yesterday at petsmart and they loved it, so I know that they do want to eat they just are not trained on frozen. While I train them on frozen I need live food asap. I have brine shrimp eggs and usually I have some live food kicking around but not right now and judging by the looks of their stomachs I don't have the time to hatch and fatten up brine.

I've attached a picture so you can see the striped snout and already sprouting barbs. And yes this horse is missing an eye. Doesn't seem to bother him though.

I wish you luck.
Mixing species of syngnathids is a crapshoot as they often expose pathogens to one another that they haven't grown up with and end up succumbing to them,
especially with pipe fish.
