The Multi-Banded Pipefish can make a fascinating addition to a well-maintained seahorse aquarium. They are slow and delicate swimmers, so choose tankmates that are compatible in terms of size, behavior, and feeding habits. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive species that may harass or outcompete them for food. Pipefish are specialized feeders that primarily consume small live prey such as copepods, amphipods, or brine shrimp nauplii. Providing a continuous supply of live food is important, which is why we recommend Nutramar Tigrio Copepods.
