    Hi,
    I need a feeder shrimp source anyone know of any that are resonable,
    I can get the glass shrimp but they are pretty light on nutrition for sea horse,
    My wild caught adults only like shrimp that are like the glass shrimp,
    they proably ate mostly small white shrimp in the wild,
    I may buy a couple dozen glass and try to gut load them.
    They don't care for brine but they will hunt those glass, like wolves.

    I saw some cherry on ebay seemed a little pricy.

    The Hawaiian volcano shrimp are apparently not sustainably harvested and should not be purchased. Even though they are sold as "feeder". According to an article in one of the C journals.
