my pipes are in my seahorse tank. so same answer as the other thread. except they can only eat small food so they seem to enjoy the tisbe and tiggers. and They will lay on the feeder for hours sucking baby brine. So much so my mandarin gets mad at them
I really love the feeder for pipes. While I am sure 3 or the 4 pipes I have eat mysid they really seem to love the feeder and I'm very happy to have them growing without reliance on copepods. My tank has too many copepod eaters for a 70 gallon tank even though I add thousands weekly to bi-weekly. So the feeder which is stocked with enriched baby brine seem to keep most of them happy and fat between the mysid feedings.
My mandarin has been skeletal since I bought her and hasn't switched to frozen or pellets yet. So I stock that feeder 2x per day. I have one pipe that looks like a sausage (hopefully she is gravid). After you get used to hatching brine shrimp eggs it isn't that bad using the feeder. Then you are ready for babies (well seahorse babies).
