pipefish in a 5g?

[sabazerehi]

i would love to put a pipefish in a 5g i'm starting with built in fuge. is it plausible if i make sure to get one that's eating frozen foods first and if i stay on top of water changes? it would be the only inhabitant with probably some shrimp and snails for cleanup. thanks

the best pipes to keep would be a small group of dwarf pugnose pipes (Bryx dunkeri). they stay small (4"), and inhabit the grassbeds off the FL coast., so a setup with lush macro or seagrass growth would be perfect for them.
