Question

pipefish

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on feeding a pipefish? It looks cool but it doesn't seem to go for the food like the other fish when I put it in the tank. It seems to graze among the LR but I don't see much going into its snout unless it's microscopic.

I believe what I have read on pipefish is that they need to be kept with non-aggressive fish like sea horses because they can not compete for food with the more aggressive fish. Johnny
P.S. Here is some more info I found on pipefish: http://www.reefboard.com/cgi-bin/for...?threadid=6

JHohhnies right, Pipefish are related to sea horses and present some of the same problems
Reefkeeper used to have some that bred in the tank but babies never survived and hes buying a new fish store so hes been tied up lately
