Janss' Pipefish

Doryrhamphus janssi

Reef Safe with Caution

Janss' Pipefish is an intriguing and slender fish known for its elongated body adorned with striking bands of orange and blue. Found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific, this pipefish is a captivating addition to marine aquariums due to its unique appearance and graceful swimming style. While it can be kept in a reef aquarium, it requires a peaceful environment with low-flow areas and plenty of hiding spots among corals and rocks. Janss' Pipefish primarily feeds on small crustaceans and plankton, necessitating a consistent supply of live or frozen foods to thrive. Due to its specialized care needs and delicate nature, Janss' Pipefish is best suited for experienced aquarists who can provide a stable and nurturing environment.
