You are welcome, bro. I fed them with either boon or new hatched brine shrimps only.

Currently I fed mine with newly hatched bbs, live adult brine shrimp and occasionally boon on weekends.

Am trying to get them to eat frozen mysis also, but still no luck in 3 attempts so far.

I have 2 batches here. 1st batch is about a month old. Lost 2 put of 5 due to wrong setup. 2nd batch is about 1 week now. Bought on last Sunday. All are doing well. They like very gentle current.

Aren't live adult brine shrimps a bit too big for them?

Initially I thought so as well but if the adult brine shrimp is of medium size, they will readily eat it.

I tried feeding them guppy fries also, they will eat it also when still small. But have to remove once the guppy fries are 5 - 6 days old.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Isn't it abit troublesome to only feed bbs or boon though? Just wondering only, never kept pipe fish before.

Nice tank and oddballs

Must be very troublesome to hatch bbs or buy boon on a daily basis

Respect your dedication bro

Thanks for sharing.
