Seahorse Rescue!!!!!!!!

Hello, well I have had a great experience in my Seahorse endeavor……..I recently received a very large female, don’t know what kind, maybe you all can help with that……..So, I immediately start quarantine procedures as standards dictate……..I had treated this pony for a few days, but noticed she was not eating any frozen mysis………Although actively seeking food within my tank, I could not actually see her eat anything……….After the first week, I was worried because she was not upright in the tank……….So, after watching “Ocean Rescue” for the last five years on the weekends, I immediately went into “Medical” mode and quickly made up some phytoplankton-mysis “Mash” to feed to her with an eye dropper……….Now keep in mind I first had to see if see would “Breathe” in the Phytoplankton and without touching her I just “Floated” the stuff under her snout……….I have only tried this with a brand called “Phytofeast” it is the dead variety of 5 different types in 1 bottle………So, she inhaled it seemingly without any stress and simply blew it out her gills……….So, after a few attempts to get her to eat, I grabbed her with my left hand, while she wrapped her tail around one of my fingers my thumb was gently messaging her side while reassuring her with my voice………Slowly but surely she took in the mixture, as finely chopped as it was, until it was gone or I was satisfied she had enough or was not stressed………..Before long she was looking better, I had to be careful to not give her to much at a time as I had thought she might have different pipes for which she separates food and water?????? Before long, she was going after my offerings and now she is fully eating whatever she can……..lol……..and she has gotten great colors, most of the time she looks like a greenish tiger pattern with colors ranging from white, yellow, to dark-green……….So, when I say “Tiger” pattern, I actually mean the big cat………lol…….She is good lookin’………..So, I know it is not a good idea to get “Wild-Caught” sea life, but I am sure that the technique I used can be utilized for many applications………..Keep in mind, after realizing she was most likely a Wild Caught specimen, I was also treating her with a “Dip” everyday and I have a male that is Captive Bred to Keep her comfortable and may be show her how it’s done…….lol…….He is an actual yelliw and white “Tiger” male that needed treatment as well……….I have to say having a “Hospital” Tank set up is by far the best way to treat any animals in your aquarium, as I have used the same tenique for my fish……….Works wonders when you get it right……….So, as it seems right now I have 2 seemingly healthy seahorses, and 3 pair of Dwarves with a bunch of Dwarve Seahorse Dry……….Well, ths this my success story for now, nobody has replied to my Dwarf Seahorse post, but if you can help, let me know, or if I can be of assistance you know how to get a hold of me………I hope this is helpful to somebody, please let me know…….Thanks……..
