Haha, nice one Sunny!
LOL. I know, I thought it was "cool", no pun intended...
It’s not so much the temperature that dictates tanks mates. Since seahorses are docile eaters, I don’t know if you’d want to put anything other than the horses (or related species) in with these guys.

Only if the pipefish are captive bred. Adding wild pipefish to captive bred seahorses is a recipe for disaster. Since they are in the same family, they are capable of transferring bacteria and other pathogens to each other. Captive bred seahorses have never been exposed to any of the stuff that wild specimens have. Thus they are very susceptible to what the wild caught pipes are carrying.
They aren't really a lot of work, they just have very specific needs that need to be met in order for them to flourish in captivity. Not really any different than anything else is, just different needs.
