Pipefish Buffet

These are two multi banded and one dragon face pipefish eating new born brine shrimp that they get a few times a day.

Here are stills of them

Hey Paul,
Let me ask you what do you do when you go away? Obviously you interact more with your tank than most do.

The last time I went away my pipefish were fine, I think they were glad to get rid of me. But those were bluestripes and they are better at hunting pods. The three I have now may be in trouble if I leave as my tank sitter is not going to hatch brine shrimp or deal with worms.
I may just have to find a retired Supermodel fish Geek to take care of them in my absence.
I do have an automatic new born brine shrimp hatchery and feeder that I built but that is only good for about a day so it is just about useless.
I have been working on a better model, but it is not ready for prime time and may never be.
