Dragon face pipefish

[reefaland310]

I have one dragon face pipefish Would it be a problem if I introduce another one at a future date. Would they get along

male or female?

They typically do fine as singles or in groups. If you have a male and female, they'll most likely pair up and spend most of their time together. If not, two of the same sex will usually ignore each other. Great fish. Not as aggressive as some other pipefish.

Female

then a male and another female should be ok, if you can sustain pod population.

Get some frozen rotifers. If the dragonface is full grown they can take cyclops. They take to tiny frozen food pretty easy.

Thanks. Pipe fish eating very well. Exactly I have her on frozen cyclops

Mine ate Cyclops like they had never eaten before. I had a pair. I kept my fuge stocked with pods

I was wondering if anyone's dragon face pipefish ate red bugs if you were unfortunate to have them

I got them while I had the Pipefish in a previous tank and they didn't even look at them.

I was curious cause I heard both sides, eating Redbugs and most not even attempting to eat red bugs

depends on the fish. some are great at it and some don't seem to notice.
