What kind of seahorses? How old are the fry?
The best foods accepted can vary by species and age of fry(rotifers, bbs, copepods, etc).
Knowing what species will also help with setting up the ideal nursery tank, which can increase your survivability immensely.
As a whole, seahorse fry are difficult. Some are easier than others though.
If this is your first batch, don't feel bad. They say in the wild only 1 out of every 1000 makes it. So far, you've beat those odds!
