So I read a bunch in this forum about how people have had luck with these little guys. I really love pipefish but don't have the desire to setup a species tank. I decided to go with a bluestripe due lots of people having success. I was a little skeptical at people saying how they eat a whole mysis, no way can this little thing eat a whole mysis?
I aquired the specimen below in January. He is the brightest blue I have ever seen on a bluestripe. He isn't that navy blue but rather a bright royal blue. He eats whole frozen mysis, especially if I feed when the lights go out. He comes right to the top with the butterfy and sixline and other boisterous fish to feed. He can only eat about 3-4 mysis before his little belly is full, but he is doing great. He also feeds on pods the rest of the day. He has grown a little since I got him and he is about 2.5'' long now. No little bumps on the snout so male or female? Sorry for the bad pic, but he barely comes out during the day long enough to snap a pic.
