Surpises of all surprises, this guy started eating frozen mysis shrimp TODAY! Not the large, whole shrimps, but the legs and things that fall off and smaller pieces of the shrimp. But the important thing is he's eating FROZEN! I was just feeding everyone some mysis when I noticed him along with the two new pipes (decided to try a group again, after losing the female about 10 months ago) swimming around, which they only do if there's BBS floating around. Upon closer inspection, they were eating the mysis. The new ones must've taught him or something. Wow, am I happy to see that

WOW! Nice pictures!
I love dragonfaces! I am lad you got your to eat mysis. I would like a pair of pipes for my tank... but I told myself that they HAVE to be easting mysis before.... because I do not have the pods to keep them alize on live food.
How did they do on frozen brine? I know brine is not as nutrious as mysis.... so I ask.... did they seem okay? Do you have a large pod population they snacked on?
I am afraid that if I get pipes that only eat brine... they will not get all the nutrition they need.
Thanks, and glad to hear!

The lone male was fine on the live baby brine, but he mostly lived off of the pods (20 gallon fuge) (I'm not going to count the other two pipes in this, as I've only had them about a week or less even, but so far they appear to be doing well). I "dose" the brine with selcon though, so it does have some nutrition in it.

very nice looking dragon. i got one about 6 months ago, he was only eating live pods from my fuge. i was hopeing my sea horses would 'teach" him how to eat frozen. on a trip to lfs about 1 1\2hrs away from my home i found live brine shrimp. i bought like 5 teaspoons of them. he ended up eatting them. when they were all gone he started eating frozen brine. then i slowly added mysis to the mix and now hes eating them daily. anyhow nice pipe!
