Yellow multi banded pipe

Bratyboy2 · 12/11/2013, 06:54 PM

What time of season do these come in? Been trying to find one for a long while now

Dizzle63 · 12/23/2013, 09:00 AM

They are in stock at liveaquaria right now.

Bratyboy2 · 12/23/2013, 10:02 AM

I know!!! I ordered 3 of them last Friday

Dizzle63 · 12/23/2013, 02:35 PM

I just ordered 4 today. Been looking for them for a while.

Bratyboy2 · 12/23/2013, 05:29 PM

Have you had these before? I have there holding tank ready for them. I requested small ones in hope to get them to feed easier on prepared foods

Dizzle63 · 12/23/2013, 05:42 PM

I haven't. I have a 75 gallon with well aged live rock that has been set up for over 3 years ready for them. I feed a wide variety of foods both frozen and refrigerated. My only concern is temp. What are you going to be keeping them at?

Dizzle63 · 12/23/2013, 05:43 PM

I kept a pair of banded pipes for a year until an unusually warm spell killed them. The tank is in a much more temperature controlled environment (basement).

Bratyboy2 · 12/23/2013, 07:29 PM

I'll be keeping mine at 74 I think just for bacterial reasons. I'm working on getting there tank setup which will be kept at the same temp. Macro algae only

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 09:07 PM

What's the diff between banded pipes and Aussie banded pipes ?

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 09:11 PM

In regards to look or difficulty?

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 09:28 PM

Just curious if it's a diff species. Like the many banded pipe and its being called Aussie banded... There are 2 banded pipefish. One with wider bands and one with many narrower bands..

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 09:30 PM

They are the same family. But different species

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 09:36 PM

Got ya.. Just couldn't find much info on the Aussie ones. That's why I asked

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 09:37 PM

Ya they are pretty difficult to get them to eat frozen but they have been bred in captivity so I have high hopes.

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 09:56 PM

Nice. That's always encouraging

local wholesaler has the Aussie guy so I might pick it up.. Don't see them as much as the regular bandeds

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 10:01 PM

No you don't. Been on the waiting list for over 6 months for these guys and I finally got to jump. Was my Christmas gift! I have every food possible in my freezer that you could think of to attempt to feed them with and I'll have my brine culture brewing tomorrow night so they are ready foe them on Friday when they get in

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 10:11 PM

Nice. Post pics when they get it

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 10:15 PM

Believe me I will! I'm so excited I can't stand it!

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 10:20 PM

These are the multiannulatus correct ?

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 10:28 PM

Doryrhamphus pessuliferus

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 10:56 PM

ah ok man too many banded pipes lol.

Common guys
Doryrhamphus dactylophorus

Then the ones you listed (yellow banded)

And the ones I'm thinking of
Doryrhamphus multiannulatus

Talk about head spin

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 10:58 PM

Hmmmmm I'll have to look into that one

H.reidi.MN · 12/25/2013, 11:01 PM

They looks similar just opposite band colors ..

Bratyboy2 · 12/25/2013, 11:02 PM

To me the only difference is that the ones we are talking about are Mich more colorful. Others seem to be a mesh of the banding of the multi and the colors of the regular banded

Bratyboy2 · 12/26/2013, 06:37 PM

Drizzle did you get confirmation of shipment? I will have a pair of blue stripes coming now as well from my LFS too....pipe fish Friday!
