Dwarf Seahorse Questions?

I have been very interested in purchasing 1 or 2 adult dwarf sea horses. Do you only feed them baby brine shrimp while they’re still juveniles or can you feed them fish flakes or special seahorse flakes? Also if you do have to feed them baby brine shrimp, how much are they and how do you go about doing this?
Could you feed them something such as this?

as i watch more, i notice the gourami, wich was completely happy and not bothering the otos at all is getting territorial with the cucumber. the otos want to eat it, but the gourami wont let them. (it is an opaline gourami by the way)
