Has anyone here bred the bluestripe pipefish? I've read the breeding logs from MBI, and I'd like to hear other people's methods. I just started my 4th attempt yesterday (all the previous ones completely failed) and have 40-50 fry. I'm feeding BBS.

Sure thing!I don't but take pics and document as much as possible in case you are successful
The tank is at room temp, around 70F. They’re 5mm. I’m using a 5 gallon tank that is currently halfway full for greater BBS density. Lightly aerated with an airline.Hmmm...I haven’t, but have you tried feeding copepod nauplii or rotifers? How cold are the pipefish being incubated at? at what size are they hatching? What’s your rearing vessel?
@ThRoewer has some in the works I believe.
That's weird Paul, yours look like a different species than mine. The colors are slightly different. Mine don't stop breeding either, and the male is always pregnant!
Parvocalanus crassirostris from Reed Mariculture ( @Reef Nutrition )Where do you guys get your Isochrysis and Parvocalanus? I'm thinking Ebay.
