depends on where you get them. I believe ora has them (used to order them from my petco days) and they always came eating. If you see them in store check to see if they are eating first. Otherwise care is fairly similar to seahorses.
I fed them mysis shrimp without issue at my store. Otherwise if it only eats live you'll need to do live brineshrimp or copepodsMy LFS has one and they've had it for awhile, so I assume it's eating just fine. What do they eat though? Copepods right?
Okay. Any tips or ways I can find out how to have copepods?I fed them mysis shrimp without issue at my store. Otherwise if it only eats live you'll need to do live brineshrimp or copepods
here's a good guide on culturing themOkay. Any tips or ways I can find out how to have copepods?
Okay! Thank you! Yeah, atm I'm just trying to decide what I want to add. An anemone or a pipefish, so I wanted to see if they were worth it or nothere's a good guide on culturing them
Growing Amphipods and Copepods for Your Aquarium
Culturing (growing) amphipods and copepods ensures a natural, highly nutritious food source for your aquarium fish.www.thesprucepets.com
although depending on the size of the tank and the stocking sometimes they will replenish themselves so you don't have to have a separate container, especially with a refugium on the tank
I have alot of wrasses that eat copepods so I replenish them from here.Okay. Any tips or ways I can find out how to have copepods?
Yeah. I know I have a TON that keep replenishing themselves on my glass, and I know my other fish don't eat them. I feel my other fish frozen mysis. I use a syringe for them, would I direct feed the pipefish?Keep in mind that they have no stomachs, which means they can't store food and need to eat constantly. If you have lots of pods, you can get away with feeding them once a day with live brine shrimp nauplii or frozen mysis.
And also, I've had my tank for 2 months, think my tank is ready or should I wait longer? Trying to plan out for it ☺
Okay. How much longer do you think I should wait?It would probably go better if you waited a while longer.
You need to contact Paul B on R2R
.
But virtually all of them will not live long in a 2 month old tank.
This was my thought as well.
@leilani908 I noticed you are looking at either pipefish or a anemone.
Both of these really need to be added in mature tanks.
Just some things need to be waited on and these are 2 of them.
There are so many others that will add color and be cool.
So keep looking and have a little patience.

And thank you everyone for your input and help
Thank you!You said the LFS had it for a long time? If they have it eating frozen, it doesn’t really matter how old your tank is. You’ll just need to feed it at least twice a day, preferably more
