Can i get a blue stripe pipefish

[Canterthefishman]

I have a 40 gal reef aquarium I have a Seabe clown, a yellow tang, a flame tail blenny. Will it be ok if I add a blue stripe pipefish?

Thanks

Tank is way to small for a tang.

I will get a bigger tank for the tang, but would it work with a pipefish in the tank? Thanks

To much current for a pipefish

pipefish are like seahorses. they need a diet of pods. they are best in a seahorse/pipefish tank with no other fish to compete with them for food.

Would there be a chance of it working?

Thanks

 

[mr_X]

i would have to say no.

Ya agreed it won't work. They really should only be in a species only tank

Ok thanks for everything!

I agree, they need a specialized setting and stable food source. A reef has way too much competition.
