Over the course of a big move, stuff hit the fan at my male seahorse's expense :(. No, he's not dead, just scratched, and if you've ever owned ponies, well... yeah.
Anyway, I won't bore you with the particulars other than the mad dash (and rifling through my fish supplies trying to find this and that) to find brine shrimp (check), gut load them with meds to prevent, you know, death (check), enjoy the male playfully snick them up (check and whew!), 50 percent water changes and an army of airstones... and now here I am with half a Home Depot bucket of brine shrimp, aerated, with the phyto poured in that i had laying around (usually reserved for my clam).
So suffice to say, I wasn't prepared to feed the buggers, other than my slurpee of phyto in the fridge. Like a good hobbyist, I've now taken it upon myself to try to cultivate and rear every creature big and small in my office and will be ordering a couple strains of algae mentioned in the previous posts in the forum and apparently chugging soda over the weekend.
If you've kept with me so far, i'm really asking if anyone has any suggestions of some ready-made stuff to pour in (and how much) or if any of our lfs have some phyto available, 7-11 style until I can get my butt in gear?
