Fishfreak218 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 What are you feeding your banded pipefish? I assume they aren't eating frozen food? Do both your seahorses eat frozen food? (I noticed one was not from ORA, hence the question) Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Pipes both are WC and Both are eating frozen cyclopeeze like pigs. Also, both horses eat frozen mysis. All have been eating frozen from day one. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 How did u manage this? I don't know, guess I was just lucky. But I would not have bought the pipes had I not seen them eat frozen at the shop. Also, both horses just ate it without any problem, they had just eaten it since I got them. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ok, some new pics finally: For those of you who are going to ask where a Bongo Shrimp is, three are hiding but one is here: Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well I did a water change yesterday and I think I added a little too much pH buffer because the rainsfords goby and smaller pipefish kicked the bucket. Here are some updated shots of the tank. No FTS since the sponges died while I was on break and I had to trim them WAY back. Till it looks better I'm too ashamed to post a FTS.

willyboy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Those tunicates are sweet! Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Those tunicates are sweet! Thanks, the little blue one on the frag plug was a HH on the rock with the big ones. Wanted to see what happens if I "fragged" it. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Awesome Pics Bongo ShrimP! Love the Bongo Shrimp as always! Sorry about the losses Are you going to replace them? Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd like to get a new friend for the other pipe but don't know if it's a male or female. I don't want to get the wrong one and have a fight. Either I just try one, or look for a new pair of something else. I probably will get another rainsfords though. I'm thinking of getting a seamoth from LA. Link to comment

Bongo Shrimp Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Seamoths are real cooL! I heard they eat inverts though... Yeah but I think they eat stuff like pods and other small stuff. I may call and talk to LA about it. Link to comment
weeber Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yeah but I think they eat stuff like pods and other small stuff. I may call and talk to LA about it. i would love a seamoth because so little is known about them and they look so cool. my lfs has had two of the skinnier longer type of these fish and i was tempted to get one but i did not have the right size tank. you would be the first person i have heard of keeping them.

violinist Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Any words of wisdom/caution regarding those tunicates? I've been checking out some for a few weeks at a LFS but haven't yet decided to buy or not. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 They are filter feeders and according to my LFS (which I trust 110%) they are just filter feeders that just do nothing but look cool. In my opinion though I think they would prefer to be in a tank without things that will always be touching them like active cleaner shrimp. Once in a while the seahorse will grab onto them but it isn't constant. I bet they would do fine for you. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yeah but I think they eat stuff like pods and other small stuff. I may call and talk to LA about it. Cool!... GOTO! Link to comment
violinist Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for the info! Have a lot of filter feeders already, got a feeling I may be pushing it in such a new tank. Hmmm.... Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Finally got some nice shots of one of the bongo shrimp! And the pistol made an appearance! Link to comment
