New bluestipe pics

Just sharing. I added this little male bluestripe to my tank after 3 weeks of quaranteen. It's eating ova but that's it that I've seen. I've caught a number of glimpses of it since adding a few days ago but it's pretty cryptic. Mostly see it under one over hang when I've added food. I noticed something nipped its pretty little tail. And I also noticed it investigating a porcelain crab VERY closely which was weird. Anyway, we'll see. I've had plenty of pipes with porcelain crabs without incident. But this bluestripe seams very curious and fearless. I also feared it was getting taken in by my mp40 when it got close yesterday but it handled it fine. Hopefully, I can get it taking some hikari mysis soon. These pics are in a little transfer vessel before putting him in the QT. Cheers.

Beautiful! Blue stripe pipes are now my favorite. If its not taking the hikari mysis, I'd try offering some live brine shrimp and mysis at the same time.

Man, I've been looking for female blue stripes for literally sixth months. No wholesalers have them. It's driving me nuts!
