Unless you can find a breeder selling captive bred pipe fish, as well as captive bred seahorses, it is NOT good to attempt the two together.
Successes with both seahorses and pipe fish are worse than trying two different seahorse species together.
You have better luck with pipe fish in a reef tank, depending on the type of pipe fish.

Here are a couple pics from today. I think it's safe to say they are trained to the feeding dish!

I'm going to try to make a video of them this week sometime so you guys can see what happens at feeding time. They are a riot!

You should definitely try to get a video of feeding time!!

Are they just on Mysis?

Evil. Your pics are making it so tempting to start a new seahorse species tank. Evil, but cute

They are eating PE Mysis and Hikari Plankton about 60/40.

I've attempted a couple times to add my homemade frozen mash, but they aren't interested (no surprise). The mash I have now has Spirulina in it though, so it is green and it actually looks a lot like seahorse poop, so I'm going to try making some mash without Spirulina to see if I can entice them. I'm not holding much faith, but who knows. They really look at the food before snicking it, so I think it may be tough to get them to snick something that isn't shrimp shaped.

wow amazing I love seahorses.
I have the same ones and they are doing great, over a year now.
I cant get them to eat anything other than frozen Mysis. But I have fed them live small fresh water shrimp and they go crazy for them although I would not recommend it as it introduces all sorts of unknown's to the tank.

Have you tried Plankton and small Krill? Mine will eat anything that is shrimp-shaped.

Thanks for the tip I will try plankton for sure.
Are they paired up? Do you plan on breeding them?
