I am picking up a pair of juvinile yellow multibanded pipefish later this afternoon and I am getting the qt ready. I decided to use my fry tank as the qt as Its pretty much cycled with a sponge in the filter and its right next to my desk for constant observation.

Here's the QT/fry tank. I am not feeding rotifer's yet so I do not think ammonia will be a issue. Just ciliates and copopod.



Ammonia is currently 0

I was going to use just a couple pieces of pvc for shelter but I figured this would make them happier. Not to mention its alittle more attractive. I pulled the eggrate out of the tank that I was using as a shelf for the kriesel and used a magfloat to hold it in place instead. I didnt want the pipes to get scratched up by it.

I figure I can toss the pipes the occasional spawn worth of scooter eggs as treats to help fatten them up.

I lowered salinity to 1.023 and I am in the process of lowering the temp. Seems like it doesnt want to go under 75.5 though. I only have a 50watt heater turned all the way down
