My pipefish is eating pellets!

For the first time today, I noticed my multi-band pipe snicking pellets from the water surface. I was excited in that way that only other fish nerds can understand. :dance:

Here's a cruddy little video.

Way cool! How's the toby do in the reef? Notice any picking (at fish or coral?)

The toby is very peaceful. I've never seen any fin nipping or evidence thereof save one time when one of my pipes had a damaged caudal fin. I have no particular reason to suspect the toby. But it's certainly possible. I feed heavily which may help. Definitely hard on the CUC though. Has taken out nassarius and cerith snails. Doesn't bother any coral that I've seen. I have all softies and leathers save a colony of Hydnophora and a colony of Euphyllia. A really cool fish with lots of personality. It's like having a tiny trigger.

Very nice.
I can't get my pipe to eat anything but mysis.

That is great! Love the music with your video What kind of pellets? How long have you had your pipefish?

Maybe someone can make a mysis-to-pellets conversion kit which has particles that slowly change shape.

.5 mm NLS thera A. The super small ones. Have had the bluestripe about a year and a half. The multi band about a year.
