Trumpet or Pipefish?

How will they survive in Large 210 aquarium? Have @9 other fish. Tangs, wrasse?

 

[Brock Fluharty]

Most likely not.

Trumpetfish, possibly. They're very aggressive eaters, but will probably need something like live guppies. Could you list what other fish EXACTLY that you have or plan on having?

Trumpetfish can usually be adjusted to frozen mysis. Pipefish I would say would not work in your setup.

I agree with Clam. I have had some pipefish feed on frozen mysis and enriched brine, but feeding them might present a problem in a tank that size.
Trumpetfish tend to grow much larger, some species over 3 feet in length. If they acclimate to mysis, they should adapt to other frozen seafoods such as raw shrimp, krill, and pieces of fish.

A 210 is really going to be big enough for a trumpetfish?

For the species that stay around 18" I think that would be okay. ALso, they rarely get that large in captivity, staying around a foot.
