Wow...need to come see your pipefish. Are they easy or hard to keep and what params do they need?

I have about 8 Pipefish coming in next week... 3 different species...

Hard to keep... for some. There are many differing opinions on the correct conditions, but a lower flow environment, such as a lagoon environment is preferable. The proper enviro for a Pipefish is practically the same for a seahorse.

Here are some good sources for information:

www.Seahorse.org (http://www.seahorse.org)

and even information on buying from an LFS (i.e. Einstein Aquatics or anyone else) (http://www.seahorse.org/library/articles/LFS_guide.shtml)

Note the issue of Brine Shrimp:

"2. “They’ll do fine on brine shrimp”

Brine shrimp (artemia) is not a staple food for seahorses. It needs to be enriched with a HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acids) emulsion or similar for it to have any nutritional profile at all. Seahorses fed on unenriched brine will starve to death.

Wild caughts may not even recognize live brine shrimp as food.

Dwarves will be OK on newly hatched or enriched instar II/III brine. All other species require mysis, gutloaded ghost/river shrimp, or similarly sized crustaceans. There is a comprehensive article on live foods in the library at seahorse.org."

Hope that helps a bit! Never hesitate to lmk if you have any other questions!

see you tomorrow
