My newly acquired pipefish turned out to be a male carrying fry and in the process of getting him home some of the babies detached and are now free swimming. They are about 1 inch long, thread size with eyeballs. The are about 30hrs old now are are being fed newly hatched brine shrimp.

You should see the contraption I got built to house these things! I got a line coming off the main tank's overflow box via a water lifter, draining into the container and 6 lines coming off the container (output covered in a fine mesh screen) back into the sump so the container doesn't overflow. I have their daddy in there too as he seems to still be giving birth. I've counted over a dozen of them in there all running around. I am just really hoping some or better yet, all of them survive.

This is video 1 of 4. Sorry for the poor quality.
