Pipefish Picture Thread!

[AVALover5498]

Ok, I'm going to be ordering a DragonFace Pipefish pretty soon so I was hoping that people could post pics of their pipes. It doesn't matter what species it is as long as it's a pipefish.

don't have a clue....got it from
www.floridapets.com

i want to know where everyone else got theres? there are some pretty ones here....

 

[danfrith]

After doing a little research it appears that scapes pipefish is an unidentified species only known by its common name as the diamond or carribean pipefish.

 

[danfrith]

Actually it might be a gulf pipefish (Syngnathus scovelli).

The world may never know!

Where did you guys get the blue striped pipefish?

 

[scapes]

ok, interesting thread here...
I told ya'll where I got mine, where did everyone else get theres??
I like mine, but there are some PRETTY ones on here, so who are the online vendors selling pipefish out there??
thanks

 

[scapes]

after some searching, I found that Marinedepotlive.com has the banded pipefish for $14 and the Janss' pipefish for $26.40. I want to say I got my "unknown" for about $3-$5. can't remember.

 

[scapes]

would it be cool to mix breeds or are they like seahorses...same species in the same tank???

 

[todd rose]

beautiful fish

 

[AVALover5498]

I've seen a couple different tanks that mixed different species of pipefish and they all seemed to be doing fine.
