Network Pipefish

Pipefish are closely related to Shrimpfish, Seahorses and Dragonets. Pipefish should be added to aquariums with plenty of rockwork with caves, cracks, crevices and ledges large enough to hide in. Corythoichthys Pipefish may not eat immediately try feeding live enriched adult Brine Shrimp. Over time they should begin to accept frozen Brine, Mysis and Krill fed at least two times daily. Pipefish are slow swimmers and require slow water movement. Any filtration intakes should be equipped with strainers. They will require peaceful tank mates as they are shy fish.

Network Pipefish are also sometimes known as Reticulate or Yellow Banded Pipefish. Not often seen in the aquarium trade. Network Pipefish are a tan color with red spots on its snout and red and yellow stripes on its body. Network Pipefish can grow to almost 5".
