Info

Corythoichthys benedetto Allen & Erdmann, 2008

Benedetto's pipefish is a species of marine fish of the family Syngnathidae.



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.
