    Do they have to fed by hand?

    If not, DFS has a wide variety of auto feeders. DRS Foster and Smith Auto Fish Feeders - a number on sale now.

    Must one in there someplace that will fit your needs. [​IMG]

    Let us know what you come up with.

    Good luck.

    i have a eheim auto feeder that drops 2 different types of food at scheduled incriments over my 58g but you're seahorses would have be eating freeze dried foods to use it

    most people i know with seahorses at best will take thawed frozen but some wont touch anything but live foods, GL let us know how it goes

    also check with a LFS, see if they have a vacation service to come in and feed your livestock, mine offers that service, it's not cheap but not as much as replacing a tank full of livestock

    I saw this product (or one very similar) being used in a LFS while they were raising baby Banggai cardinals. It seemed to work real well, but if you need larger shrimp... :-/
