I had a couple of seahorses for about a year and a half. I went to the seahorse org. site and got tons of info. there. I also panicked when my horses wouldn't eat when i first got them. It took about 3 or four days to even get them to start to eat. I used frozen mysis, diluted it with the saltwater and used a turkey baster to slow drop the mysis right in front of them. They are very stubborn creatures, but very interesting. I wish you luck. I missed many a nights sleep worrying about mine. Eventually, my husband made a feeding "trough" for me to drop the mysis in at feeding time. I would tap on the glass and they would come a swimming. About a year ago, one just died for no apparent reason. It was eating fine and acted like it always had. About 2 weeks later, the other died. Once the first one passed on the other quit eating as well as he had been. He was very unhappy. They were both males but they always hung out together. I think the second one died because he missed the first one. If you would like I can try and find some of the pics I took of Fred and Barney and post them. I think I have one of the feeding trough also. Again, good luck and don't stop trying. I was so distraugt at about day 3 I ordered live shrimp from a man on the seahorse org. site. They really went after those! Just go to the site and ask questions. They are more than happy to help just as they are on this site.
