You would be much better off getting captive bred seahorses that are trained to eat frozen mysis, that will make feeding much easier. Also it is not advisable to mix seahorses and pipefish in the same tank.

There are no Cb pipefish available so all the ones you get will be wild caught. Mixing them with captive bred seahorses is a recipe for disaster. The piefish will be carrying bacteria and pathogens that the seahorses are not immune to and can/will infect the horses.

Sad to say, but you should plan to keep either one or the other or set up 2 systems for them.

Also, those dishes would work for hatching, but you will need something to grow out the brine in and something to enrich them in before feeding. Brine shrimp are basically the equivalent of popcorn, they have no nutritional value unless you enrich them.

Waste of money. Soda bottle is as good as that, if not better. Hatching brine shrimp is extremly easy and yo don't need anything fancy. Specially if you use San Francisco mixes. Just a air tubue with slow bubbles (big - no airstone), any kind of lightbulb and soda botle.
