Are you guys getting the ORA pipefish that are suppose to be trained to eat prepared food? I have 2 pipefish and they are a wonderfully happy couple. One will eat frozen brine shrimp and the other one must be surviving on pods in my rock.
I don't know about anyone else, But I haven't heard of ORA breeding pipefish? Most of the wild pipes we get in will eat frozen food, esp once they've been there for a week or two.
