Good-bye pipefish

[naesco]

Nothing at all intended against the poster but his loss of the pipefish is typical of those that attempt to keep them.
The reality is that almost all well intentioned reefers who attempt to keep them fail. That is not only my opinion but the opinion of expert well respected authors.

I am surprised that J&L sell them as they are a reputable store.

Moogled, I am puzzled by your post. Do you disagree that they are almost impossible to keep? Are you concerned that I am warning unsuspecting hobbyist about the difficulty in keeping this fish alive?
Thank you
