Janss' Pipefish

Doryrhamphus janssi

The Janns Pipefish is also a cleaner fish of other fish, and will exhibit this behavior in a reef tank. Will be picked at by blennies, porcupine fishes, tobies, triggerfishes, wrasses. Better if kept in species tank.The Banded Pipefish has needs very similar to seahorses and makes for a great tank mate with seahorses. Like a seahorse it needs a well seasoned tank with pristine/stable water quality and live with other non-aggressive feeders. There are very few fish that will exist well with a pipefish as most fish are aggressive feeders, leaving the slow eating pipefish starving.

Feed a variety of invertebrate foods including mysis shrimp, daphnia, grass shrimp and mosquito larvae. Feed several times daily.
