Very nice. I am curious how big they are and what you're feeding?

 

[blue155]

the smallest one is about 3" and the purple one is about 5"
i also just picked up a yellow rhinopias

am feeding them cyclopeeze gut loaded ghost shrimp and sometimes feed them cyclopeeze gut loaded guppies

So no shots at prepared foods yet? Are you ever going to try?

i have tried feeding them silver sides and they seem uninterested. i have also tried using a string with the silver sides tied to it to give it action and they still don't even bother...

i just keep a 20 gallon feeder tank running in the garage with 500 ghost shrimp

How are you keeping the ghost shrimp from eating eachother? Are you just feeding them cyclopeeze to keep them going? I have a very large seahorse tank in mind and the only obstacle so far is feeding. The tank is plenty large to keep a population of food going in it, however a sperate, small tank with a large feeder population would be ideal as well.

well i just purchase a box of 500 ghost shrimp a month for 19.00 and use it to feed all my fish (mainly as a treat).they do kill each other (not many though) but the dead ones are consumed by my triggers/ and wrasses.

i feed them the cyclopeeze so that when my fish eat them they get some sort of nutritional value.

i would suggest setting up a 10 gallon tank and just buying a large number of ghost shrimp and keep them alive (they surprisingly will live for months and months)

Ah I see, I thought you had a self sustaining population of feeders.

Where are you buying 500 for $19?

 

[tarpons]

yes -- where are you getting the feeder shrimp??
