Hi,

im currently running a Brackish water tank, with two fonger mono's. thw scats and two target fish. i recently added a pipefist to the tank, but it doesn't seem to be eating any of the food i have tried (krill, shrimp brine, dried food, and even flakes....)

does anyone have any ideas what i should try to feed the pipefish?

Thanks,

Sparky

You can try frozen mysis, most fish take to it readily.
I find (for my marine anyway) that frozen foods often tempt finicky fish to eat.

I feed (my marines) frozen brine shrimp (not very nutritious but my fish love it) & more often a more complete frozen food - "Emerald Entree".

I have seen mysis in the same freezer, give them a go.
I would buy a few different marine types if I were you.

ok, thats cool, think ill take a tip down the pet store tomorrow and pick up some mysis, or see if i can get some live food for them! the tank isn't actually a marine tank, it a brackish tank

Not a happy camper tho, came home this evening to find my brand new Finger Mono lying dead in the tank!!! Back to the fish shop, me thinks!! (the fish being in the tank less than 24 hours!!)

thanks again for the help conor!

regards,

Sparky
