Anyone want baby Dragonface Pipefish?

[Brie]

Unloading our order this morning, and turns out we have 2 very pregnant Dragonface Pipes, and looks like 1 other gave birth in the bag so we have some seriously cute and tiny baby pipefish :baby: for anyone who wants them. I'm going to save them and put them in a bag with some oxygen, so if you want them please come by today ASAP. They're going to be dumped into a reef tank at the end of the day...

Edit: Just an FYI, it is very difficult to raise fish fry. You will need to set up a hatchery tank and feed them live food like the small strain of live rotifers.

Cant.. they're too tiny. If you look at the link labeled as Pipefish fry info, there's microscope slide pics on there of them. Pretty cool.

Thanks Brie, wow, what great timing! I just came in for a giant striped turbo snail for my granddaughter (oh and tell the guys in the store to stop scaring her! lol) and now I have a project on my hands. I wish I could take pics, tinier than clownfish larvae that's for sure. Time will tell if my strain of rotifers will be small enough to fit in their mouths.
