Schultz's Pipefish, Corythoichthys schultzi

 

[fishesRdelicious]

those prices on fish are without shipping and probably/hopefully arent as cool as the ones we got
you could keep a sea dragon but they are super expensive, i think like $200

 

[spoon25]

really wow, cool..there awesome...im gonna get one someday...i need to go scuba diving....lol

 

[bmac]

you would need to go scuba diving in Australia to get a cool dragon !!!!!

 

[spoon25]

i need a better camera to get the reds and oranges and yellows to come out...it just cant any more detailed than that, which sucks cuz the oranges and reds in this pipefish is a really deep neonish bright color...ill post the best shots i could possibly take, my cam sucks...

neat so out of curiosity what the big deal with pipefish.
i mean their a cool lil critter but they requier low flow so they can't thrive in the main tank so its hidden to most people that see your tank and they eat pods that many other fish eat as well.
maybee its just me but id rather have a mandrin or the rainfordi that i just bought.

 

[spoon25]

i thinjk im gonna mate them, and then do the same with sea dragons, i dont mind the requirements its in my fuge

 

[spoon25]

okay guys heres some links to your alligators....hope they help...i looked for about an hour for this stuff, its good stuff....lol
