I am actually. Right now I have a banded pipefish(the one with black and white stripes and a red tail). Very cool. It seems pretty hardy to me although it was kind of tough. I started him on live brine but now he's eating frozen mysis and other things and has the biggest appetite out of all my seahorses. They are probably just as slow swimmers though and to me they just basically act like a straight seahorse. I'd get one if you have a horse tank.

Not to sound like a broken record, but it's best to keep EITHER seahorses or pipefish - not both together. Keep in mind all pipefish offered for sale in the U.S. are wild caught. It could spell disaster mixing them with CB seahorses.

Ha thats the way to run a business! I would get one though, they add a lot of different colors IMO...
I've heard to not mix CB and wild but whats the reason for that? I think everyone in the tank seems to be doing fine
