Nurse Bob....(The Saga Continues)

What would a 1/4in fry eat???
Anyone experienced with keeping pipefish and babies or just pipefish for a long time???
Could definetly use some helpful hints...

They are the size of a line you could draw with a very fine point and like I said before a 1/4 inch long...
Right now they will be living through a so drip into a 2 gallon bucket as filtration...With 3 pieces of rubble rock that found very hard to find a piece without featherdusters on it in my tank, I figured they would be featherduster food...I put some good bacteria from my denitrifier in this bucket and plan to float it in my sump for heat...

What do you guys think...I know it's going to be hard to keep these alive but I'm hoping I can get advice from someone like Paul B. with experience on breeding them and keeping babies(fry)...

Thanks for all comments on this thread...:hug:

Oh yeah Thanks Kimoyo..:wink1:

Mods please close thread...

I killed them with a slow drip, and slow syphon with a net over the airline tubing...
They got stuck on the syphon net...
RIP little pipefish...
Sorry..
