Group of DragonFace pipefish

[Terryz_]

I am considering a group of DragonFace pipefish for my tank... Lets say around 3-4? Would that be too crowded for a 35 gallon tank? Will there be any problem if I add gradually? As I will have problem getting a whole bunch together?

Thanks...

They need a lot of food, I don't think a 35 would be big enough for that many. They usually don't take prepared or frozen food. They get a pretty decent size to them, too.

It will be a problem they eat a LOOOOTTTT of pod's

I guess I will settle for two then... I have a lot of pods in my tank... My red head goby and blue neon goby are self sustained on the tank with minimum feeding... You can see they stomach is always bloated with food...

Unlke my horses, the pipefish are always on the prowl for food. They'll clean a 35 of pods in a matter of days.
