Info

Corythoichthys schultzi Herald, 1953

This pipefish is widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific Oceans, from Red Sea and East Africa to Tonga, throughout Micronesia, northern Australia and New Caledonia.

Curation problemfree in tanks with a lot of algae. Creeps trough the tank and only begins swimming to catch food. Food: freshly hateched artemia, cyclops etc.

Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.
