Not a easy fish to keep in captivity for long...
Not easy to get feeding, very picky eater...

Recommend a species tank specially for it... As for adding together with your Blue stripe pipes... From what i experience blue stripe are quite aggressive to other blue stripe, but i think shouldnt be problem if your tank have ample space for them(Ghost and Blue stripe)...

Thanks bro. my tank i 3 feet and the blue pipe is only 2.5 inches long.. So i think should have enought space for them. but i need to confirm if they will fight anot? dun want to stress the ghost pipe coz its a very nice fish. and i need to know if ghost pipe is same as pipe fish which can be trained to eat mysis like my blue pipe?

Should be ample space for there own terrotrial... Maybe you can get one bigger than your blue stripe? I kept janns with blue stripe before... They ignore the janns maybe they are bigger... But there are bickering among the blue stripes that i bought...
Can be trained to take mysis but very difficult, it is already difficult to get it feeding on Brine shrimp liao..

These are very delicate fellas to keep..... a well establish specis tank sholud be good, think the best tank mates be pipefish....not sh(more chor lou) a quite tank be nice.

kept a pair before..... 1 day come home just saw them lying on the sandbed. but that was when i'm just started sh.... must have died due to my inexperinece.... wall.gif

Even the expert have problems keeping them alive... Not one of the easiest pipefish to keep... Best to get them feeding asap to ensure they dun starve to death... Other things can be dealt with later... IMO...
