Does anybody here have feeding suggestions so far I've tried bloodworms an brine shrimp he doesn't seem
To eat that much will this sustain him? I got this fish as an impulse and would like to see it thrive...
What other kind of food is recommended and just 1 in the tank?
What's your setup like and is the tank cycled?
EDIT: Interestingly enough, even though it's called a FW pipefish, many are listed as BW inhabitants (lost me there lol). Cool looking fish though . They also eat Daphnia and microworms and are apparently, quiet difficult to feed at times.
I assume that you are feeding frozen food? Perhaps a live source of either of those to get things started. It may be possible to wean it off live food, but I am just guessing, as I have no familiarity with that fish.
I have a 38 gallon tank that's about 3 months old half is planted and half has driftwood and moss balls I have 25 tetras and a khuli loach an albino weather loach a adf (hand fed) and four sterbai corries and the pipe fish
I'll preface this by saying I know nothing about your pipefish, but have you tried target feeding it? A turkey baster or syringe might work. Like BillD mentioned, live food might be a good way to get a feeding response going.
