Blue Striped Pipe Pregnant...Now What?

[Tripspike]

Anyone have any experience breeding these? I have a pair of blue stripe pipe fish and noticed one of the pipes looked strange. It looks like there are eggs along the bottom side of the pipe inside of course. The area is see through so I can pretty much see all the little eggs.

Any help out there would be great.

seahorse.org is the place to read up on the pipes. You raise them about the same as seahorses, depending on their size, may have to use rotifers. Most pipes are easier than most seahorses usually for raising, so give it a try.

They sure are OUTside,glued under the male´s tail,perhaps protected by two lateral skin folds.Are they red?Could you take pics?.

Yes, tha is what it looks like....two lateral skin folds. I have taken some pics and posted them here. Hard to take pics of them in my tank.
