Soo for a long time i've been thinking of adding 1 dragon face pipefish in my reef tank and i've been doing a lot of research and reading a lot of articles.My conclusion is that i need to have a good amount of pods to hunt which i have so far.Second they are slow and can't compete so if i want him to eat frozen mysis for example i should target feed him which is totally not a problem for me(i alreay target feed a yasha goby i have so its not a problem to target feed an extra animal).Correct me if i am wrong so far or add more information if i am lacking something. What i haven't understand so far is this: If for example i run out of copepods and i cannot ressuply them fast enough,can he live with frozen food if he gets fed 2-3 times per day or he will eventually starve? Looking forward to some info for them. I will apreciate any further info from people that has succes with them so far so don't be afraid to anser :)
