I’ve kept this pipefish for six months in a 30-gallon reef tank. It’s very calm and blends well with the coral. Only requires careful water parameter monitoring. A great addition for experienced reef keepers.

The pipefish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It doesn’t eat much, so I need to offer small live foods. Overall, it’s a peaceful and visually interesting species.
Matt Jones –
After researching extensively, I decided to add the Janss’ Pipefish to my tank. It’s been thriving and has not shown any aggression. The tank needs to be stable, but once that’s achieved, it’s a rewarding addition.
