Baby pipefish, help!

[agent6473]

I have some baby pipefish at my house and not sure how to raise them. I know they probably need live rotifer cultures, which I'm working on getting. Does anyone have any nearby, I'm in Newton, MA? Anyone have any advice on how to keep these babies alive? Right now I have them in a fry raising net in the tank with my pipes. They're about 1/4" and are all white. They were released by the dad in the bag during shipping so I think they're a little premature, but still swimming around.

What species? They might be able to take live brine shrimp initially. I have some hatching at the moment. How many babies are we taking about?

15 babies or so. These are very very tiny. I don't think they were incubated long enough on the dad. He released them early in the bag. Greg, where do you raise them? In a separate tank or in the same tank in a net? If I put live rotifers in the brine net, won't they swim out? Do I need a separate tank for them, and if so, how do I keep the water clean when adding all the food?
