Pipefish needs copepods..... lots and lots of copepods. There is no way to supply them with the amount they would need in a small tank.

Kinda true...

They can be supplied you can use a refugium or just when your tank is cycled add quite a few then give them a few weeks to reproduce. Be sure to make little hoimes for them out of rock piles the pipefish cannot eat them out of and you will be fine. You can also regulary dose your tank with them. I have never heard of those pipefish before... But I have heard of dragonface pipe fish which come from hawaii
