very nice. definitely a sea horse set-up. i think it's not so difficult to train them. just mix live with frozen foods to get them used to it. and in the meantime you can enrich the live brine/ghost shrimp by feeding/soaking them in garlic, vitamin c, et.c.
cheers

Thanks for the tip, I thought of turning off aeration so they could eat it since they are slow haha

This is just a temporary tank for the time being until I shift to my new place over the weekend. Other than Brine Shrimps what are alternatives can I give them? Mysis shrimps?

mysis is better, not much nutrients in brine shrimps and not so good in the long run too.
