Blue stripe Pipe fish reproduction

[mike Brolin]

See a few post on pipefish spawning in nano on a regular basis. Wondring any one has be successful on raising any fry.
We currently have a pair or Blue stripe in a 24 gal nano with the male expecting. This is all I have in the tank except a few blue leg crabs.

They're notorious for eating their own fry. Also, the babies are tiny so you may never see them. That's the extent of my hearsay knowledge. I think someone around here was trying to raise bluestripe fry sometime earlier in the year. Maybe they'll stop by.

I've been able to collect the fry a couple of times and they were pretty large for marine fish fry. I'm almost positive they could have been raised on L- strain rotifers. You can read the rest here:
