Criley7 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Had one years ago. Finding another might be a task. No clue. I thought he was doing well he was starting to free swim and all. Yeah maybe some yellow horses and some pipes. That would be cool. Or look at my thread a few pages ago, a guy has a website that he could probally get you anything you wanted. Link to comment
patback Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Go crazy with pipefish. Link to comment
LongPig Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think I might. I never realized that Banded Pipefish can reach eight inches. Link to comment
M@! Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Sorry to hear about the cuttle fish. Seahorse source has H. Reidi in stock. http://seahorsesource.com/reidi.html They would look perfect in that tank. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 That would be cool. Or look at my thread a few pages ago, a guy has a website that he could probally get you anything you wanted. I can get blue ring octopus in a heartbeat. They are tiny, around 1 inch. $100. Link to comment

Criley7 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I can get blue ring octopus in a heartbeat. They are tiny, around 1 inch. $100. When my Bimac dies I'll be getting one of Those from you Zeph. I wonder if it is possible to build up a tolerance to their poison by starting to handle them when they are a hatchling and slowly build up a tolerance so you could handle them as an adult. Like Indigenous peoples in South America that build a tolerance to poison arrow frogs so they can handle them on a daily basis to use their oils for their arrowheads for hunting. Link to comment

But seeing as it's the most deadly creature on the planet with no known anti toxin, I dont think I would attempt it. Link to comment
metrokat Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Pipefish?! Nice choice Piggy! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Blue spot octopus, I meant blue ring....too many beers I guess. A seahorse and pipefish tank? That would be killer. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Pipefish?! Nice choice Piggy! My seahorse reef ( 4 H. yelllow/orange Reidi and 4 yellow H. Erectus, that I raised myself) is actually my favororite tank these days. Ive adde tons of macro, thanks to KKgoldy, clams , leather corals, lords, gsp...i have an sps frag in there but not sure how it will do. I think the nutrients are too high for even easy sps, but im workin on it. Definitely pipefish next. DEFINITELY. Funny thing I always thought that tank was too dirty for clams, but they do BEST in there. Love those low nitrates. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wow, I dont know. But seeing as it's the most deadly creature on the planet with no known anti toxin, I dont think I would attempt it. Just a little food for thought. That is how I would donate my body to science if I knew my end was near. In the marine world that's how you keep it real. Blood in Blood out!! Link to comment

They are tiny, around 1 inch. $100. I'll keep it in mind but now I'm leaning towards the horses. When my Bimac dies I'll be getting one of Those from you Zeph.

Notice how he doesn't mention my macros, or my GSP or the clams we bought together, or that his poor sea horses were clinging to plastic ornaments and had sh-i-tty lighting before I came along. His majestic batfish, Batty, who also lives in this tanks was hardly visible in the dim light. AND his mated pair of orange filefish are in there too. Now its his favorite tank. Pfft. Link to comment
