Must be the male, what a great shot! Do you have a photo of the female for comparison? People are always asking how to tell the difference.

 

[acrodave]

if u look on his nose u can see the flaps the females have a smooth nose. she is also on the drab side. no pic of her she is a lot more spooky then he is

[Pea-brain]

Very nice shot! I plan on getting one of these from my LFS in the next few weeks. Are yours trained to eat frozens?

cool fish. I am think about getting a pipefish.

 

[mollymonticello]

So, to clarify, when sexing bluestripe pipefish, the female has a completely smooth snout? Is it possible for a female to have really tiny clear bumps on the snout? I have really good eyesight.

 

[CHAR3]

I agree, excellant photo. great looking fish.

 

[acrodave]

my female has no bumps or flaps on her nose just the male

 

[Ocean2k]

i have alsow a male and female, just for you to know you cant get another one becuse the male will fight until the end, so only one male in tank.

[acrodave]
