Martens’ Pipefish (Doryichthys martensii)

 Freshwater pipefish are a truly unique addition to any peaceful aquarium setup. Known for their slender, dragon-like appearance and graceful swimming, they offer a captivating alternative to more common species.

Behavior & Care:

Peaceful & Shy: Best kept in a species-only or very peaceful community tank. Avoid aggressive or fast-feeding tank mates.

Slow, Selective Feeders: Thrive on live or frozen foods like baby brine shrimp, daphnia, and copepods. Some may gradually accept prepared food with patience.

Low Activity, High Elegance: Move slowly with a gentle, gliding motion. Often seen hovering near plants or hardscape for shelter.

Sensitive to Water Quality: Require stable, clean water and a mature, well-cycled tank. Best suited for experienced aquarists.

Ideal Environment: Planted tanks with soft lighting, low flow, and plenty of hiding spaces help reduce stress and mimic their natural habitat.

Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or a collector of rare species, freshwater pipefish bring elegance and uniqueness to your aquatic world.
