I got this guy 3 months ago, very afraid with the possibility of not have enough food for him in the tank.
I started dosing zoo and phyto plankton heavilly, to try to help in someway.
Untill now, he's very good. Swimming a lot, very active and "fat".

That is a dragonface, right? What are the care requirements and compatibility in your experience?

Yes....it's a dragonface.
It's considered one of the hardiest pipefish, what isn't enough, most of times.
Here he feeds almost exclusively of live small pods. He hunts all the time, but only in the substrate and in the lower rockscape. He's a poor swimmer so he preffers slowest water.
My tank is big and old, so it has a good amount of pods. Besides that, I feed the tank regularly with zoo and phytoplankton.
Its my second attempt with this genus. The previous one was with a banded pipe, that didn't lasted much.
I have a very diverse livestock and untill now, no one harasses him. But it's wise to keep this genus with more peacefull tank mates.
