Freshwater pipefish Profile

The Freshwater pipefish, identifiable by its elongated, slender body and distinctive snout, resembles a straight-bodied seahorse. These unique fish often feature colors ranging from muted browns to vibrant greens, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. Native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, they are a less common sight in the aquarium trade compared to their marine counterparts. Despite their intriguing appearance, the Freshwater pipefish remains relatively obscure in the hobby, possibly due to their specific care requirements and feeding habits.
