Hi all! I got 2 H. whitei seahorses on Wednesday. My girl is eating well, took a day or so to get her comfortable eating frozen mysis and brine from the tweezer.
The boy starts doing laps around the tank when I approach and will avoid the tweezers. Sometimes if I catch him chilling on his fave sinularia I'll try to feed him then and he'll turn his head away from me
I have watched him eating pods off the rocks eagerly, my tank is filled with them but I can't count on him eating pods forever...
I have ordered live mysid shrimp to maybe get him acclimated a bit. Though I'd prefer him to just take the frozen mysis from me... I've even tried cutting squid into tiny slivers, the same size as mysis. It's like he doesn't even see the food.
Parameters are Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0 Salinity 1.024, Temp 24C. They are from a pretty well known breeder in Tasmania so they should both be CB.
Any tips?
