I'd bet that the crab grabbed him when he was sleeping. The needlefish as well. The crab hunts at night and one that size would be able to eat most of it with the rest eaten by everything else. They're so skinny he could slice them in two fast.
@ScoobzNPetz it happens. Sometimes learning happens the hard way. I've lost a few fish to the little buggers myself. They act all kind and innocent. Then bam. The eat a fish 🐟.
Scoobz sorry to hear about your Pipefish such a shame 😞 plus beautiful to watch and in the wild they're mainly found in subtropical salt water and reef water. I mentioned baby brine to you as (swanleyjon) mentioned as they like that.
@@ScoobzNPetz I did some reading up on them & the large percentage is salt & that is definitely one which would have been added to my tank seeing how calm & graceful they are. I told my hubby you'd lost it as he's seen your tanks loving fish & even he said today it's a shame he can't adjust a tank to brackish for better survival.
@@ScoobzNPetz Well it's a nice size to do it & you don't add loads of salt to make it brackish, then once stabilized & salt content tested, which the aquarium shop by you would be able to do. Then try another Pipefish plus a couple of Gobies again & there's brackish fish you can buy but you know me mine had no choice 😜😂
This fish is better when it has its own take with multiple buddies they like still water so a sponge filter is perfect. You can keep small nano fish with them like celestrial pearl danios and shrimp work too
@@ScoobzNPetz Yeah unlucky mate it was an unusual fish..I'm in panic mode here mate,i've only got another pregnant swortail and Bonnie the loster is carrying loads of eggs,i mean loads,just moving almost 30 swortail fry into the 7ltr and gotta seperate the soon to be Mum and i panicking about having loads of lobsters,gotta set the 200 up asap 👍
@@Magicwerx oh wow that’s great 😅 That’s the problem with livebearers, they multiply like bacteria 😂😂 You can always try donate some to your local fish store if you get too many and you’ll probably be able to sell the lobsters on eBay
@@ScoobzNPetz i've literally just separated around 30 fry into the 7ltr,i wont put the pump/filter on for a few days,i think they're big enough not to be sucked up,about 4-5mm but i don't wanna chance it,got 2 more preggy swordtails separated and am sourcing another 58ltr to separate the lobsters until i set mi 200 up,it's a logistical nightmare lol,Leonard never made it in the end,i think he had a scrap with his lone claw and lost...ended up with Bonnie n Clyde the danderous duo for mi birthday,with the babies i think i'll go with the ebay,i may do a vid 2moz if i can show her baring the eggs and i'll also show the fry so far...if you need a sabatuer i'll keep yous all posted,free for any Scoobz subscribers 👍
@@Magicwerx ahh sorry to hear about Leonard but glad to hear that Bonnie n Clyde are having a good time lol! And yeah let me know when you post the vid, would be interesting to see! And thank you😁

Bro I had pipe fish back in the day but I didn’t know enough about them and returned them to the store. I’d definitely get them again now 💪🏾
@@jeremyblackwater439 If you do get one let me know how it goes! I’m really tempted to try again but I definitely need to do more research

@@fnhuggybear yeah I think you’re right, it was probably the crab.. should’ve seen that coming

Try keeping them in a ‘Species only’ tank .Copepods good idea,then try baby brine and eventually adult brine shrimp.
I wished i'd still got my tank running, this i would loved to have tried as i kept my fish in brackish water.
Would bloodworms work? I feed my half banded spiny eel with a turkey baster because he’s so shy
@@jeremyblackwater439 Apparently bloodworms are fine but the smallest ones, the same for brine & they do eat daphnia.
@@peridot-20 thank you for your time 👍🏾
@@jeremyblackwater439 Your welcome 👍
The pipefish are so cool but they are so hard to feed!
@@S1xroom yeah it can be a nightmare!
Hello, Scoobz! 👋
@@chisaquaticvibe6524 hey! 😁
Scoobz sorry to hear about your Pipefish such a shame 😞 plus beautiful to watch and in the wild they're mainly found in subtropical salt water and reef water.
I mentioned baby brine to you as (swanleyjon) mentioned as they like that.
@@peridot-20 Thanks, yeah I was gutted.. they’re so beautiful! I’m definitely going to do a lot of research first before trying again
@@ScoobzNPetz I did some reading up on them & the large percentage is salt & that is definitely one which would have been added to my tank seeing how calm & graceful they are.
I told my hubby you'd lost it as he's seen your tanks loving fish & even he said today it's a shame he can't adjust a tank to brackish for better survival.
@@peridot-20 yeah I’m seriously considering turning one of the tanks brackish, maybe the flex after I moved the nano fish to the interpet

@@Gamingspurs Thank you for sharing your experience! If I ever do try again I’ll probably set up another aquarium for them
Absolutely bloodworm would be okay 👍
@@swanleyjon I’ll keep that in mind if I try again, thanks !
RIP Pipy, he didn’t get to have a name
@@chatsscapes Pipy sounds good, better late than never 😅 RIP Pipy
Gutted Scoobz,that's proper pants mate 🙁

not a pro, but i know they need to swim in food, can't go longer than a day without a proper feeding, people keep daphnia colony in tanks with them
@@halo2something I see! I didn’t know that, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’ll keep that in mind if I try again
@@ScoobzNPetz live and learn man, don't give up
A nightmare to feed long term
@@MotionNA I can imagine, I’m really tempted to try again in a species only tank but the feeding is frustrating 😅
