I'm looking at what it would cost me each month to keep seahorses my questions are

#1 what do you feed your seahorses? PE mysis, Hkari mysis, Hkari Canadian mysis?

#2 how much do you feed your seahorses? ½cube/pair? 1cube each?

#3 what does it cost you each month to feed your seahorses?

So correct me if I'm wrong but
If I have 3 pairs of erectus seahorses and I feed them 1 cube PE mysis per pair per feeding 3 times a day so 9 cubes PE mysis on BRS is $9.49 for 4oz which best I can tell has 40 cubes so $9.49÷40×9=$2.14 a day=
Weekly $2.14×7=$14.95
Monthly $2.14×30=$64.05
Yearly $2.14×365=$799.36
Is this right? That's a lot of $$$ for frozen mysis?

3 cubes a day for each pair I think is excessive. That being said, if it determining ownership comes down to crunching cost of feeding, keeping them might not be the best of ideas.
