Can I keep dwarf seahorses?

I want to get 2 in a 2 gallon tank(yes a 2 gallon because when I was doing reasearch it said that in larger tanks it is hard for them to find their food)and yes I know how much work it takes to keep seahorses and in a small tank I have to keep up with ammonia, nitrate, and nitite levels(including that I can’t use live rock to cycle my aquarium) and I also know they are very fussy eaters including the ones that are wild caught and please I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t be mean to me I already had a stressful day. Also they will have this in the tank:
Decor
1 Littlest Pet Shop Aquarium Figures
1 Top FinĀ® Pink Plastic Plant Variety Pack
food
1 8oz. bag with live adult brine shrimp(which i will keep in a 1-1.5 gallon tank)also the seahorses will have a turbo snail as a tankmate to keep the 2 gallon
here is the 2 gallon tank they will be in: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752291

What is the salt to water ratio for Brine Shrimp?

I have some brine shrimp that i kept from an experiment and i was provided with saltwater. But now I need to get more water, but I don’t know the salt to water ratio. What is a good amount of salt that should use? Is there a certain water I should use to mix with the salt? Is rock salt recommended? I don’t want to make a big deal out of them and put them in an aquarium. I just want to keep them alive as long as possible. =D
And i want to use things I can use around the home like rock salt or epson salt. I just need the ratio, not recommendations to go to the vet or the pet shop. :)

Any idea what the saltwater fish (Six Line Wrasse) likes to eat?

I have tried Marine Flakes, Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Spectrum Marine Formula. He doesn’t seem to take interest. He does pick at Live Rock occasionally. He has been in tank for only couple of days so I know he is acclimating, but wanted to see if any ideas out there what food works well with the “six line wrasse”?

Saltwater fish help?

I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank w/ live sand. We didn’t get live rock because I’m not interested in having a reef anytime soon. So I have let it run for about a month fish free. The other day my fiancee bought me 3 small yellow tail blue damsels. Well we brought them home and aclimated them for the legnth of time the lady told him and one of the fish acted strangely and the next morning was dead. We feed the remaining two live brine shrimp and the seemed to be happy and healthy in their new home. Well to my dismay another one is dead. We’ve checked the levels and everything seems fine except the pH it’s roughly 8.8 could this have caused my fish’s death? What should I do now?

Thanks
