I dont want to be harsh, but did you research any about seahorses before you bought them?????? They are more delicate and need to be in species only tanks that are set up just for them. They need at least a 29 gal tank
They require lower temps them normal tank. Please post a picture and where you got them from.
Are they captive bred or wild caught. They will need special care if they are wild caught.
Please read thru the first three posts in the seahorse forums. There is a lot of info there.

Also wanted to add. If these are wild horses, they may not take to frozen mysis right away. You will have to feed the live mysis, small gut loaded ghost shrimp and gut loaded adult brine--until you can convert them to frozen. Since seahorses don't have a stomach, they need to eat often. they can not go days without food. Their systems will shut down.
