Doryrhamphus pessuliferus advice

[chrisaggie]

Today I purchased three Doryrhamphus pessuliferus (banded pipefish?). I have always admired these fish and wanted a group of them. I saw them at the store and knew they were meant for me. I have an established ref tank with a good pod polpulation. I feed cyclopeze and reef chili on a daily basis along with mysis. Is there anything else I can do to gibe these guys a good home. They are my fish pipefish. You can see pictures on page 3 of my tank thread here. Thank you for any help.

180 is a good size tank. As long as your pipes don't have a lot of competition for the pods they should be ok in an established tank like this.

You could always try target feeding them cyclopeeze and see if they take to frozen.
