Pure freshwater captive bred golden Danube pipefish.Full Cold Hardy livebearer species, related to the marine seahorses. It is native to the lower Danube region, from pure freshwater habitats. This species can easily be kept in aquariums or in outdoor ponds all year round, surviving freezing winter temperatures.
They breed from may to september in dense vegetation where the male takes the eggs from the female and incubates them in a pouch on his abdomen. The color of adult female specimens is metalic yellow gold with white and dark stripes, while the males can become fluorescent metalic green/gold - one of the most beautiful temperate climate fish species, in the world, in my opinion.
It is recomanded for the aquarium specialists that have the necesary space to keep them on their own or with other small peaceful species.
They need, clean well oxigenated neutral to hard alkaline water and a gentle water flow from a sponge filter or a powerhead. A planted 50l or more should be enough, with a weekly 50% waterchange. SALT IS NOT NECESARY, these are a pure freshwater species. They will accept live foods like Daphnia and newly hatched brine shrimp, chopped izia worms, tubifex worms, dero worms, gammarus and other small crustacean or insects. These F1 juveniles (5 cm - 8 cm in lenght) are trained to accept frozen foods like frozen bloodworms and frozen mysis. From an anatomic point of view, these fish, don't have a stomch and will eat non stop even during the winter time.
Adults are best kept at lower temperatures during the winter period, 4 °C to 10°C beeing ideal. Juveniles can be raised at room temperature WITHOUT THE USE OF AN AQUARIUM HEATER.
