Won't they accept frozen or did no one ever try training them to accept dead food?
I've got pretty much all pipefish or seahorses I ever had to take frozen Mysis or Artemia after a while. Some got the hang of it quickly while others needed a bit longer, but in the end they all got it.
I was usually training them with freshwater Mysis. Those lived long enough for feedings. The half dead laying on the ground were usually still moving enough to draw attention and generate a feeding response. After a while feeding on half dead the fish would go after everything that remotely looked like a Mysis shrimp.
