Shibbys Mini Adventure

[shibby]

okay i finally got a 10 gal nano set up and running i cloned my big tank!

im thinking pipefish 1 or 2 for fish but there come after ive made sure there feeding at work ones a right pig so il be going for that one, there yellow banded pipes brighter then the normal pipes.



stocking thus far a few kg of live rock, 4 different varitys of button polyps, a mushroom, a cultured toadstall, feather duster, a few hermits, and there was one snail untill it unfortuntely got sucked out by a powerhead

il get pictures once pentax have stopped sending my camera around europe to be fixed suda gone with it reli!!


any ideas for some interesting invertebrates??

Tank looks great shibby. How old is the pipefish? Do you think 10Gal will be big enough once its fully grown? Just out of curiousity, do you know what species you have? Looks like Dunckerocampus Pessuliferus although its hard to tell without a photo of the tail.

when he does grow bigger i have a few options put him in 40gal tank though im not sure how well he would do in there, upgrade this 10gal and clone it because its already broken a lid in 20days which they havent fixed for me yet! or give him into work but for now i hope hes fine, grow to 16cm i believe, hes at about 8cm.

i dont know the exact age was in store for about 2-3 weeks, been here for about 3 weeks, no ideas how long it would of been at tmc though you may be able to figure it out from his length.

hes either Doryrhamphus pessuliferus or Dunckerocampus Pessuliferus they may be the same or slightly different i can find out the exact scientific tomorow

he did have a partner but unfortunetly that one just wouldnt eat anything this one however gulps things down.
