Unlike many pipefish, Dragonface Pipefish spend much of their time slithering and gliding along rockwork while searching for tiny crustaceans and other live prey. They are best suited to mature, peaceful reef aquariums with abundant microfauna.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Difficult\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaximum Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6–8 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30 gallons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiet:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Carnivore \/ Microcrustacean Feeder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 72–78°F\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecific Gravity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.023–1.026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epH:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8.0–8.4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDragonface Pipefish should be kept in a mature, established aquarium containing plenty of live rock and a healthy population of copepods and other small crustaceans. They are specialized feeders and may not readily accept prepared foods, making a continuous natural food supply particularly important. Some individuals may learn to take enriched baby brine shrimp, small mysis, or other appropriately sized frozen foods. Avoid aggressive or highly competitive tankmates that may prevent them from feeding adequately. A refugium or regular supplementation of live copepods can be especially beneficial for long-term care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MosaicMacros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67648585826626,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3713\/3122\/files\/IMG-9344_13caaa14-dd12-46e0-b011-713a10183557.jpg?v=1791170391","url":"https:\/\/mosaicmacros.com\/products\/dragonface-pipefish-doryrhamphus-dactyliophorus-copy","provider":"MosaicMacros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
