Those are cool looking fish.

anomie · Jun 29, 2007

Those are so beautiful! Is it a species dedicated tank?

Beautiful Bob! Wonderful pics as well!

Did you get those from BRK?

rocko918 · Jun 29, 2007

Yes it is a pipe fish only tank. the only other thing in the tank is scarlets, snails and a cleaner shimp.

Yes John at BRK got them for me!

I'm calling John now.......

lol, just have to ask for them, oh these were the only 2.

Sea MunnKey · Jun 29, 2007

Just make sure they have live 'Pods to feed on...or live Brine shrimps. If you lucky they might feed on frozen food...

Have Fun!!

Don't worry. Bob is an expert at keeping pipes and sea horses. He is an awesome reefer as well!

thanks Chirs. yes the tank has been setup since Feb 07 and fish free for over a month now. lots of pods and what not swimming around.

Bob,
Good old DMB. That live CD is still one of my favorites. It looks like those Pipes are more of a lower flow type of fish, would you agree?

THE BEAUT · Jun 29, 2007

Those are some sweet looking little guys.

great song! Played it at our wedding.

I would say they are a low flow fish. They just happen to be near the return. It's a 33 g long and the return is on that side. that is really the only place with flow. I have a mag 5 dialed down, with a 20 gallon sump.
