Dear Captain:
Frozen Mysis is available in several different brands from many different sources. Gamma brand frozen Mysis is good, Hikari frozen Mysis is also acceptable, and Piscine Energetics frozen Mysis is the best in terms of nutritional content and quality control. Your local fish stores should carry one or more of these brands. If not, PE frozen Mysis is available online from Premium Aquatics and a number of other sources. It’s available in two different sizes and the smalls are easier for young seahorses to slurp up. One way or another, you’ll need to line up a supply of frozen Mysis before you order your seahorses, Captain.
The superior PE Mysis relicta is available in smaller quantities online from Premium Aquatics (see link below). The Piscine Energetics frozen Mysis relicta is now available graded for size. You can get the usual jumbo Mysis relicta or smaller Mysis depending on the size of your seahorses.

And, as Leslie pointed out, you can also contact Piscine Energetics and obtain a list of the retail outlets that carry their Mysis relicta. Depending on where you live, you may be able to obtain the PE Mysis relicta from a local fish store in your area:

Best of luck obtaining a good brand of frozen Mysis for your seahorses, Captain!
Happy Trails!
