Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with breeding dragonface pipefish. They have been one of my favorite reef inhabitants since I started in the hobby and I love watching my pair hover around the rock work in my sps tank. To my surprise last night as I was checking for pests after lights out I found the water column filled with baby pipefish. I collected about 20 of them with coral baster and set up a little grow out tank last night. I've read many articles on pipefish breeding but I can't find much information on what to feed pipefish fry for the first couple weeks. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Realistically I don't think I will succeed with this first attempt but now that I know the pair is breeding I would like to attempt raising future hatches.
Thanks
Matt
