bay pipe fish info wanted

[madsculptor]

I posted this question last night and couldnt find it again to see if anyone responded. so please excuse my repeat radio question.
I am a life support engineer @ the aquarium of the bay in san francisco.
Recently we have had a die off of our bay pipe fish. No warning singns of any kind and water quality sems good. Any ideas anyone?

i am not sure what may have killed them, off, but f you need some let me know, i live in the east bay and would be more than happy to catch some for you. Ilive on a saltwater lagoon thats full of pipefish.

Inadequate feedings and poor nutrition is the bane of pipefish, and seahorses for that matter. You may find that you need to fortify their food with selco, and that they need to have food in the tank at all times that the tank is lit. Could you post the feding schedule, and the types of foods offered?
