Seahorses or Pipefish?

[Greg129]

I'm looking into making an empty 29 gallon into a Seahorse or Pipefish only tank. I have no experience with either. Which would be easiest for a beginner to handle?

Probably Seahorses. Pipefish can be difficult because it's more challenging to get them to eat.

I second the horses. they are SO charming, and interact well... VERY well!

and, as long as you buy captive bred, they are eating frozen mysis shrimp, so they are fairly easy as far as the 'difficult' fish go

I vote pipes, because I have had little luck with seahorses and no problems with pipes. Plus they are more active. I have dealt with gulf pipes almost exclusively and they are kinda the rebels of the pipefish world and love frozen so my data could be a little skewed.
