How many blue stripe pipefish in a 75 gallon reef?

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Should I stick with a pair or would it be OK (may be better) to have more?

The tank is well established and there are no anemones or overly aggressive fish in the tank.

Thanks,
Tom

I would do a pair.

Thanks for the reply. I too like the idea of at least a pair, and thought I read somewhere that they can be kept in harems.

I've been told to keep them individually or in pairs only, regardless of tank size because multiple males will fight one another...surprising for what seems to be such a docile fish in my aquarium!

I hope it works out great for you. I really like blue stripe pipefish because they are so colorful.
