Its doing ok. I want to get another one because they would feel more comfortable in pairs just like any other pipefish. hopefully i can get lucky and get a male/female pair so I can see them dancing with each other.Comment

what do you have for water movement so i can compare?
i have 3 tunze 6100s on a 7095 and a mag 12 split into 2 return lines each with a 1" sea swirl.
what do you think? a bit too much for them?
thanks!

Edawrd,
I had a pair of these when I had the bugs, they ate well, and did pretty good for abut a month, the first one eprisehed to a tunze, and then the second just didn't do as well, stopped eating the mysis, and then got its butt kicked by my psudo, didn't last another day.....
Great addition to a reef though, if the flow isn't too bad........IF IT IS WORTH DOING, TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO IT RIGHT..........Comment

I know a dude who keeps an assortment of pipe fishes in his reef. That thing has FLOW. Wavebox, 6200 streams AND a surge. The pipe fish seem fine in the system.10x3x2 FOWLR (for now)
