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

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?

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).

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

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

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

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
