Update and some pictures:
Al, the smallest is 1 inch, two of them are about 2 inches and the third is maybe 2 1/2. Don't feel bad, I took the picture and couldn't find her in it at first.
Gemmy, Thanks.
T, I just tried to feed them, they didn't eat much only a few pieces...3 ate, the largest turned her face away and won't eat. I know that's a very bad sign. How long can she go wihout food? Beth (Peka) treid to feed them while I was there to show me how, but none of the horses were hungry.
My flow was too strong and the tiniest got stuck on the overflow..there is a grid over it and she could not free herself. It was only for a moment and I got her off and turned down the pump to the lowest level. I don't see how that could help the strength of the overflow so I am watching closely. The little one seems to like to just release and go with the flow..weird??? When I turned off the pumps she went to the lowest branches and latched on and ate a few pieces of shrimp. She curled her tail and was not trying to hold on when she went by a plant...she was upright and would change directions so I assumed that is what she intended to do.
The largest one that won't eat is on the same fake red and green plant they were on last night. This morning all the others were in a group on the other side of the tank, on the big yellow fake plant.
My camera won't focus right so pics are hard to take..if I crop them they get blurry...
The non-eater
The best eater
Number three
Tiny Tina the floating explorer..I can't a good shot of her, she is in in a corner..maybe later
P.S.
When I turned on the pumps, shrimp that escaped my feeding tube (I'm not good at it yet) started flowing...miss I'm not hungry suddenly showed attention and she seemed very interested in the back rock wall..I think miss I'm not hungry had amphipod earlier. I am watching and hoping...she is still really looking the wall over and moving from leaf to leaf. LOL...The good eater just discovered the pods too...the pods are doomed.
Oh and I got a 47 inch LCD TV last night $700.00 and a Blue Ray/DVD wireless Lan player $98.00...so I can watch my instant movies from Netflix and get HD DVDs ...But now that I have seahorses who needs a TV?

They look good, be careful of filters and such if they are that small. (you are supose to measure tail and all.) if you have one thats only an inch, that is smaller them my 8 week olds.
LOL...Okay new measures. The largest is about 3 1/2 inches, the two midsized are 3, one a tiny bit larger than the other, good eater being the largest of those two, and the littlest is 2 inches. I didn't count the tail.
Can little horses untrain from eating frozen foods? The largest wouldn't eat and I can see she is on he hunt for pods. She has moved to a kenya tree branch and is watching and looking all oveer the rock it sits on. She has gone from black to the color of the Kenya. The good eater has turned from black to tan..the other two are still black.
EDIT:
Little tiny Tina found a pod walking and just lookd at it...she followed it with her mouth but never ate it..too big maybe?
