Hello fellow reefers, so I’m in search of the blue stripe pipefish. All my lfs suppliers currently don’t have any. So any one know good sites find them or know some where else I could find them?

Thanks man, I have checked them out, was sorta looking for WYSIWYG because I would like healthy one. Prefer not one fresh pulled from ocean but it probably will be them
They really are, one of my favorite and always wanted one and I think I’m ready to give chanceCant help you but they are incredible little fish.
Blue Zoo and LiveAquaria are a mixed bag when it comes to this kind of fish. You might get lucky but more likely you will end up with a loss. At least that is my experience with them. And when it comes to sexing, only Blue Zoo offers it and doesn't get it always right.Thanks man, I have checked them out, was sorta looking for WYSIWYG because I would like healthy one.

Dang that sucks I’m sorry hear that, jannis are very pretty. Yeah that what sucks for pipefish they don’t ship well. I wish there was ORA project for them, then maybe we see them more in hobby. And what you mean by treated? Like QT?Blue Zoo and LiveAquaria are a mixed bag when it comes to this kind of fish. You might get lucky but more likely you will end up with a loss.

Ideally, you try to get them through a local store where you can pick them yourself. But even that doesn't guarantee that you won't have losses. I for example just this Saturday found a baby Janssi pipefish at my preferred store. Despite having tigger pods as live food and eating a little it was dead today, only 3 days later. If these fish don't get treated right on the way to us we are pretty much helpless.

Did not know you could not medicate these fish. Thanks, I had a interesting thread start on how you would QT them, no one mentioned couldn’t not medicate. They just intolerate of it? I know I’d kill there source of foodProbably cared for not QT as you cannot medicate these fish
That’s awesome to hear! His he eating frozen or still only pods?Got mine from bluezooaquatics. Well, got a pair but one perished after a few months. The other one is going strong for over two years now.

Do you have other fish in the tank? Mine eat all the food before my pipefish notices it's there.she loves hikari mysis as it fits in her mouth. Also loves fish eggs, calanus. I dose phyto all day long so I do have a healthy pods population which she hunts.
