Fish ID request? Horsehead eel?

[garglebreath]

Y618 labels it as Horsehead eel (I think). Uncle says it feeds on daphnia and likes soft water, but beyond that, not too sure. Anybody can help ID? (Its about 3 inches long and very, very slenderP1040439.jpg).

Hi, its a freshwater pipefish, i am not very sure of the exact species. It needs small enough live food as it is rather fussy eater, which will be rather troublesome. You can try live daphnia, live brine shrimp or baby brine shrimp, shrimplets or fish fry.

The article below might be of help

Thanks! Maybe they were particularly hungry but they gobbed up the Hikari frozen brine shrimp. Lets see what happens next few days.

I think those in the pails are kuhli loaches?

They have both. 1 pail is khuli one pail is the pipe fish.
