Not sure on amount per feeding, but should be fed 3 to 5 times a day. Try to remove any uneaten food afterward.

They typically eat all the food i give them. Right now I feed 2 times a day maybe 3 on good days lol

They have a short digestive tract and need regular feedings. Beyond that I'm no expert.

Seahorses are slow swimmers and feeders and often wait for food to come to them. Spoon feed and as food is consumed, you can add a little more. They are incapable of chewing foods or even opening their mouths, so fine foods such as rotifiers, baby and adult brine shrimp, copepods, fish eggs, zooplankton are best. Live will be your best sucess with them eating.
@AlgaeBarn carries these foods

It depends on the system and availability of live food sources. I like to start with at least 3-5 feedings a day. Then, I go from there.
