Hey all,

I was looking to add a banded pipefish to my tank.
It's other tankmates would be
• 2 ocellaris clowns (pair)
• 2 orange spotted gobies w/ pistol shrimp (pair)
• Royal Gramma
• scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp

I will also be adding 5-7 blue streak cardinalfish in the future.

I'm wondering what the pipefishes care is (feeding, tank size etc).
Thanks in advance, Rex.
 
I have found that they fit right in and do well in a peaceful reef. Banded pipes readily accept frozen mysis and calanoid copepods.

Ok great!
What's the minimum tank size they should be housed in?
Also are the current fish I already have peaceful enough tankmates for a pipefish?

That stocklist should be fine. A 30" tank should suffice.
