new tank

ok after lot more reading and seeing what care and requirements are needed for these after qt'ing them in this tank i think i am going to partially convert my 50g for them. i'll just have to take one ph out and move the other 2 more towards the top so that there will be a few low flow area's. but here is what i got, and this tank will eventually house 2 nemo's and a anenome, plus i have 2 pipefish

Dragon Pipefish (Corythoichthys haematopterus)

Looking good Rick! Make sure you keep the tank loaded with pods. Those pipefish are not likely to eat frozen foods (maybe cyclopeeze). I think you are adding BBS so that will be good food for them too.
