Info
The body and head of Bryx veleronis are light to dark brown, with light bars, the snout is paler.
White spots can be seen on the operculum of the pipefish, the tail is brown, dorsal and pectoral fins are clear.
The pipefishes are ovoviviparous, the males incubate the embryos under their tail before giving live birth
One male can "give birth" to up to 48 small baby pipefish.
We do not have any husbandry experience with Bryx veleronis.
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.
Synonym: Bryx clarionensis Fritzsche, 1980
