Hi Fishlover,
I would not recommend keeping any wild caught syngnathids with your captive bred seahorses for the same reasons most do not recommend wild caught seahorses. WC pipefish rarely eat frozen foods and are difficult to train to accept frozen foods. They also carry pathogens that seahorses are also susceptiable to so you risk the health of your captive bred seahorses by mixing them with wild caught seahorses or pipefish.
