Has anybody ever kept a ghost pipefish or know where to get one? I found a website that sells them, but I don't if it is too good to be true.http://www.thefishdepot.com/index.html Also has anyone kept or seen a pipehorse for sale? thanks,

Many sites say they have ghost pipefish but never get them in stock. There was a guy on here a few months ago that got in, but I havent heard from him since. As for pipehorses I've done a little research and have looked for them but never found them for sale. I would try contacting Floridapets.com and see if they can specialy catch one for you.

IME, most "ghost" pipefish end up being dragonface pipefish.

I find it disconcerting that this website is completely out of stock, and they claim to sell seadragons. This makes my heart sad. i would def. do a thorough search of this site and others to check out their feedback. I have heard good things about florida collector being able to get ghosts and other rarities, but personally I only support captive breeding programs.

Good luck

Personally I would not even consider ordering from the place you linked to.

Several things concerned me, including the fact they have not identified some species correctly. One example is H zosterae(dwarf). The pic they have posted on their site is in fact H bargibanti.

They have Clarion angels listed too....just for fun someone should call and ask what the wait times on Clarions and Seadragons are. They don't even have blue damsels in stock for heaven's sake

I looked in the seahorse section and this looks like the work of a kid. The pictures look like ones I have seen on other sites and he has nothing in stock. Caveat Emptor!
