Hi, I wanna buy a pipefish.

Do ikeep them in pair? and is it ok to mix 2 diff. speices of pipfish? must they be paired up or 1 each is fine?

What do you guys feed them? reefsafe? tankmates?

Do they prefer good lighting or poor?

My 2ft tank have Shrimps of all sorts.. very tiny ones.. glass, ######, haliquin and a hermit. (:

Hmmm..I kept my pipes in sps tank last time. Best if you have alot of caves for them to swim in and out of. Certain species are easier to wean onto frozen foods. Such as normal banded pipefish and Jann's pipefish. I find the orange banded pipefish one of the hardest pipefish to wean.

Always something more important than fish.

Depends on the size of the ###### shrimps and the glass shrimps compared to the pipefish. Mine left my ###### and glass shrimps alone. Newly introduced shrimps should be guided to the rockwork. If you just dump then into the water column, your tame pipefish might think they're mysis. I lost a shrimp like that before. It did'nt get devoured...but it got stunned to death by the suction of the pipefish.
