Apterygocampus epinnulatus, also called Tiny pipefish, are found in the Central Western Pacific, Indonesia, the Philippines to Papua New Guinea, in mudflats and not to deep lagoons up to 10 m depth, mostly between soft corals of the family Briareum or in sparse seagrass beds.
The Tiny pipefish is Ovoviviparous. These animals produce eggs, but instead of laying the eggs, the eggs develop within the mother's body.

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.
