They arrived a day late but alive. The temp was 73, so not too cold. The larger one didn't look great and was at the surface with part of his back sticking out of the water like the Loch Ness Monster, but he was breathing. The smaller one looked better.
I acclimated them for about an hour due to the difference in temperature and salinity, and gently put them in where they both went to the bottom in the corner and stayed there. One is still there but looks a little better.
After a few hours, the smaller one swam away, and now I can't find him, which is probably a good thing. I hope he is foraging in a cave somewhere.
Neither one ate mysis but I didn't think they would the first day. I have no idea when the last time they ate was, and that is not good for pipefish, which are not like most other fish.
None of my fish paid any attention to them.
I hope they make it through the night. If they live a week, they will live forever.
