BABY Pipefish !!!!!!!!!

[stlmustangz]

Well I no have baby pipefish all over my tank.They are soooo small.Looking good & swimming around.I'm guessing only a day or 2 old.These are dwarf florida pipefish & I've only had them for 3 weeks & already have babies.This is awesome.I hope they will live.
Do I need to remove the parents,will they eat them? It's a 50 gallon breeder tank with alot of growth & grape,calupera,razor algea etc.. for them to hide.All kinds of little bugs & critters for them to eat.Any helpfull info is appreciatted.
Thanks

yes, pipes will eat the young. I read thye can eat BBS at birht and are pretty easy to raise. (considered to the other species) Good luck with them!!!

I was luck enough to have baby gulf pipefish. Move them to a small tank 10 gallons or so and feed high concentrations of bbs. They are pigs! Best is to hatch new bbs ever other day and enrich older bbs. I use as sponge filter in the 10 gallon and some calupera for them to hide. Good Luck.

That is awesome! I wish you the best of luck.

Does anyone know of someone who breeds pipes? I have had the hardest time finding CB pipes.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,
