    ata fish

The place was only a fraction of the size that I was had pictured. I did one loop around the tiny store saw all the sickly looking fish...

    Experience with Pipefish

    Not sure what type of pipefish this guy is, I have not been able to ID him yet. Is it a good idea to put live copepods into the tank? I think I saw him munch a frozen mysid but really very slow to feed.

    Experience with Pipefish

I purchased some live brine shrimp to help acclimate this fish to a...
