Yellow multi banded pipe

[H.reidi.MN]

ah ok man too many banded pipes lol.

Common guys
Doryrhamphus dactylophorus

Then the ones you listed (yellow banded)

And the ones I'm thinking of
Doryrhamphus multiannulatus

Talk about head spin

 

[Bratyboy2]

Hmmmmm I'll have to look into that one

 

[H.reidi.MN]

They looks similar just opposite band colors ..

 

[Bratyboy2]

To me the only difference is that the ones we are talking about are Mich more colorful. Others seem to be a mesh of the banding of the multi and the colors of the regular banded

 

[Bratyboy2]

Drizzle did you get confirmation of shipment? I will have a pair of blue stripes coming now as well from my LFS too....pipe fish Friday!

 

[Dizzle63]

Got my confirmation for 4 pipes and a barred blenny off DD. Getting ready for a water change so conditions are perfect.

 

[Bratyboy2]

I'm starring at the tank they will be in for a couple weeks like they are already there lol been checking my tracking number every hour!

 

[Dizzle63]

Just received mine. They are tiny!

 

[Bratyboy2]

Mine are about 4 inches...I.got one that's kinda swimming weird

 

[Bratyboy2]

Well the weird swimmer is dead which is very sad. Bout to call LA but the others are cruising the tank one even snicked something. Might have been a piece of brine but I didn't get to see it happen.

 

[Dizzle63]

Mine are dripping now. All four appear to be healthy and active. Sorry you lost one.

 

[Bratyboy2]

They are going to reship me one. If they still have them at the time I plan to get 2 more for a total of 5

 

[Dizzle63]

5 would be awesome. I'm just surprised how small they are. Pretty happy about it.

 

[Dizzle63]

Have three hanging out together. One of these chased some mini mysis, but didn't eat any.

Just thought I would put up a picture. These guys are rather common in stores here in NY.

 

[H.reidi.MN]

Isn't that a regular banded pipe Paul?

 

[Paul B]

I don't know, it's a banded pipefish. I was bored so I posted a picture.

 

[Bratyboy2]

My 2 are doing great so far. One I believe has taken some mysid the other is to worried bout what I'm doing lol

 

[Bratyboy2]

Here are the 2

 

[Dizzle63]

Are yours picking at the rocks at all? Mine are simply hanging out in the corner and are interested in roe, arctipods, and mini mysis, but I haven't seen them eat yet.
