- .... pipefish .... He (she?) eats everything: tiny pellets, cyclops, mysis and of course loves that pods he (she finds after dark

Hi Susan ;-)

I sold more than 50% of my fish as they were either bully or to big for the 180g or so tank that I have, some of the fish were already 3 or 4 years old, and now peace as returned to the system so I bought a Dunkerocampus pessuliferus like yours and will drive some 320 x 2 (=198 miles x 2) Km to Cascais (Lisbon) to collect it along with this pinck fungia at NATURLINE, a shop of a friend of mine, on December the 6 (and profit to visit him and have a leisure trip). She (he?) is presently living in the refugium of the shop exhibit tank where it gets plenty of amphipods and artemia, mysys, etc...and upon arrival will be placed in my refugium for a while where it will get the same food and in time I will move it to the main tank. Now, although incurring in the risk of bringing Godzilla home in its larval stage:Yikes::splitspin, I collect live plankton with a 60 micron plankton net that I ordered from Aquatic Eco Systems, so this will be an additional form of food...still upon reading your lines, you mention that yours eats tiny pellets...so besides the usual fresh/frozen food you feed yours, you also feed tiny pellets...

how tiny are these pellets and what is their brand name?

Do you feed her (him) twice a day? Can you please describe or make a small video of your pipe fish eating?

How long now is it living in your tank?

Your tank is an inspiration

Cheers

Hi Pedro. I feed my tank 2 times per day. The morning is a mix of flakes, freeze-dried cyclopeeze and 2 types of tiny pelllets: New Life Spectrum small fish formula and Marine Gro Small Granules. Since this mix goes into the tank all at the same time, its impossible to tell exactly which bits the pipefish is going after but it does eat. At night, when I feed the frozen mix of mysis,brine and frozen cyclops, it also eats. I can't get a video but you will know when its eating as its body sort of 'jerks' backward a bit each time it takes a bite. It has doubled in size since I got it about 9 months ago. Good luck with yours!

Hi Susan and thank you for your detailed explanation which will surely be very helpful.

So these are de pellets

Red Sea MarineGro Small pellets and New Life Spectrum small fish formula...so basically 1mm pellets. Over here we have several brands avilable that have 1mm pellets formulas.

Thank you once more for the detailed information

Cheers
Pedro Nuno ;-)
