Aquarium Advice FINatic
I purchased a tank raised Hippocampus Reidi from Pacific East Coast Aqua Culture. It arrived yesterday and after a 30 min floating tempature acclimation and than a 1 hour drip acclimation I added it to my 24 gallon office nano-reef. The only other tennants to the tank are a Percula Clownfish and Purple firefish. My question concerns feeding. This morning I tried some frozen mysis shrimp soaked in SeaChem Garlic Guard.
I put the shrimp in a pipette and squirted it right in front of the sea horse. After a good number of squirts and lots of shrimp floating around I finally gave up. The sea horse had little to no interest in the shrimp and ate nothing. It is very round and plump so I am sure it is well fed. Should I wait a while before feeding it again or do they typically start eating shortly after arrival. Any tips to techniques to get them eating?
