Corythoichthys paxtoni Dawson, 1977
Paxton's pipefish
Corythoichthys paxtoni is endemic to the Coral Sea, inhabiting Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the Chesterfield Islands, and New Caledonia (Dawson 1977, 1985; Kulbicki et al. 1994; Fricke et al. 2011).
Adults inhabit coral reef. The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail
Main reference:
Dawson, C.E., 1985. Indo-Pacific pipefishes (Red Sea to the Americas). The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA.
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.
