    I'm sorry to hear of the loss, and I'm concerned for the female. If they don't eat for a few days, they normally won't eat again and will need to be force fed by day four.
    You mention a feeding last night, and feeding again tonight. What about in between those two times.
    Seahorses have no stomach and need to feed preferably throughout the day.
    If you don't have a feeding station, feed the seahorses three times a day, two at a minimum.

    Thanks for the concern, I appreciate it. The female ate normally when I got home last night. My nano tank has been established for 5 years now and has more pods in it than I know what to do with. I know the female was snacking on them during the day, she just stares and snaps at them at will. As far as a feeding station, that's a good idea. I'll have to look for something that will handle wet/frozen/thawed foods for her. I'm sure she will end up eating all the pods at some point.
