Yellow Multibar Pipefish

The Yellow Multibar Pipe (Doryrhamphus pessuliferus), also known as the Flame Banded Pipefish should only be purchased by experienced hobbyists who are familiar with its care requirements. These fish are reef safe and very peaceful. They can be kept together along with other shy, peaceful fish. Multibar Pipefish may need to be fed live copepods, or baby brine, when they are first introduced. They often begin to take prepared foods like frozen cyclops, PE Calanus, and tiny bits of frozen mysis. Keep in mind that if they do not find enough copepods, they will eventually need to compete with your existing fish, and this is difficult for them to do, similar to a Seahorse. Multibar Pipes should be kept in a 50+ gallon aquarium. They can be harmed by anemones, corals with powerful stings, and larger crabs and shrimp. Max size is around 6".
