i was just wondering how many people have pipefish in thier reef

thank you

the only pipefish that I know that's successfully kept in a reef is the Jans pipefish. I know about 4 people in my area that have them in their reefs. ou have to first get them to eat frozen but after that they should tend for themselves.

Multireef, what sort of flow you got in there? I'd think they'd have issues with it.

[Razzagas]

Marinelife...do you have issues with currents in your sps tank? is it too much for the pipefish?
Thanks

 

[marinelife]

nope, my blue strip only is out at night when the wavebox is off and the streams are at 30%, the Multi is out all the time and moves all over the tank

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have three small pipefish in my 110 gallon reef tank. These are wild pipefish I've pulled out of the grass beds in the Gulf of Mexico along with dozens of small glass shrimp. (It's allowed). I feed Cyclopeeze once a day. The pipefish chases the shrimp around. Fun to watch!

 

[Razzagas]

are all of your pipes with aggressive eaters (tangs, anthias...)?

 

[pnsnowboard]
