It can grow up to 7.5 inches and should be kept in a tank no less than 40 gallons. The Many Banded Pipefish is a docile and peaceful aquarium inhabitant and should not be housed with predators. The Many Banded Pipefish can be housed with many other pipefishes, and will sometimes form lovely pipefish-trains by floating together in a long row. The Many Banded Pipefish is considered reef safe but with caution, because it loves to hook its tail onto things, and if it does on stinging coral, then it might be in trouble. The Many Banded Pipefish should not be housed with sea anemone, aggressive shrimps or crabs.
