Seahorse & Pipefish Haven Part II

[Domboski]

It's basically trial and error at this point. I keep trying new foods and methods. AA had about the same luck as me. They kept the fry alive about a week. Hopefuly I figure it out.

Dom what are those trumpet fish looking things we collect? I collected a bunch of them this week but they don't look exactly like trumpets. They look halfway between a pipefish and a needlenose. They have a tail about two thirds down their body then another tail coming out of that for a few more inches. They only eat small fish but very cool. They swim in the water column but hang there like trumpetfish. I need to take a picture.
They are not in this picture which was from last week also
And the top picture is the guy I collected with you

Hey Paul,

They are Blue Spotted Cornetfish (Fistularia tabacaria)

Oh yeah, that was my next guess. Very cool but they only eat fish, I gave them to the fish store but I will see if I can train them to eaty something else

 

[Domboski]

I tried them once without much luck so I no longer keep them. They get too big anyway.

Dom I still have all of those fish we collected. I gave away the coronetfish but the wrasses, butterflies and burrfish still look great.
If it were not so cold, I would go again.

Cool! I still have everything except only one butterfly left. The Rock Hind ate all of the other butterflies :irked:
