Thank-you for your kind words

They are not available for sale by reputable LFS and online stores for that reason.

Please do not attempt to replace her.\

Thank you

I have a blueline pipefish that is alive and well and thriving that was living with the dragon pipefish in our refugeium. I have had the blueline for about six months now and she's fat happy and healthy. If I choose to get another one (not sure I will or not) I will try to start off with one that is healthy looking from the start. The dragon pipefish was pale and not moving around much when I got her but seemed ok. She started hunting and eating food right away after bringing her home. It was just weird that she was doing so well then suddenly died. FYI the LFS I got her from is (for the most part) considered reputable.
