Any good links on how to raise baby seahorses.

I have googled all morning and found nothing. If any thing I am more confussed now than ever. I got the babies in a 5 gallon tank with air bubbles and some calupa (spl). I have been trying to fed them cyclopeeze but they are so small I can tell if they are eating it. Jon maybe you can help.

I wish I could help you but I never monkey around with the horsies! Have you tried the Seahorse forum over at RC?

I raised seahorses for about 5 years. It truely is going to depend on what type you have, whether or not you'll be able to raise them.
For starters, keep that tank pristine, and not too much flow, just enough to keep them away from the surface. 5 gallons for a typical brood is way overcrowded. If you can get them to eat the cyclopeeze that's awesome, but baby seahorses are really presise on what they need to eat to survive. Don't feel too bad if you lose the entire brood. It happens.
Good luck.

Thanks you two, none of them made it. I got them from a guy who produced the babies. I am planning now on setting green water to grow rotifers and brine shrimp. This should help incase i get more babies from him.

The green water is great for rotifers and copopods. You'll still need to gutload the food source just before feeding it to the fry.
Be absolutely CERTAIN to not cross contaminate the rotifers and greenwater. A few rots will infiltrate the greenwater and eat it to clear within two days.
What kind of seahorses are they?
