Pipefish is growing up

I have had my Yellow Multi-Banded Pipefish for over six months now. He is now 4 inches long. In that time he has fed on Cyclops, Cyclo-pleeze, and BBS along with whatever pods he finds. As of this week he has started eating Hikari Ocean Plankton. Big pieces too. He goes after a chunk that looks way too large for him to consume but he gets it down. I take small scissors and cut up the plankton to make it easier for him, but I don`t think I will have to do that for long. Still will not touch Mysis but thats ok. I rather have him eat something marine based anyway. Now I need to find him a mate.

I use Hykari Bio Pure Mysis in the cube packs, for my pipe fish pair.
They are a little smaller than other Mysis.
