Micro Pipefish Species?

[Spencer7]

Are there any other blueline-pipe-type options out there?

 

Dragonface pipes are the only one I can think of (in the trade) that are close...

 

Bluelines are so unique and one of my fav fish and I would love to expand on this niche that I rarely hear about.

 

Thanks,

S

Here's what Live Aquria has: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+267

Yes lol, I'm familiar with what LA has listed. Blueline and dragonface being the two I consider "micro" pipes.

 

Multibands and the other guys are common and get over six inches.

They state that Janss' Pipefish stay under 6".  Still, I know that's still bigger than bluestripes.

 

However, Blue Zoo has bluestripes in stock.

Any experience with bluezoo? Google isn't kind to them.

Try searching on Nano-Reef.  I think that will give you a more accurate picture.  A number of people have had good experiences.  Definitely not an Aquacon.

There are other pipefish out there, but they almost never hit the trade. Love my blue-stripes and mine goes after frozen as well which is nice.

Worse case scenario, I get a partner for my blueline and see what I can do ;P
