its a brackish water pipefish

This is most certainly not a pipefish.

These are imported into Malaysia by way of Columbia as "Farlowella acus" (Twig Catfish). As to if they are really the F.acus species, we would really need to do a serious taxonomic study to prove it. What is sure it is definately a Farlowella sp.

Well there are many different species of farlowellas. the ones selling in AI are bellow RM20 each. could be that the Pet Family are bringing in a different variant. Its nose is much longer.
