    Your taking a risk there, especially with these delicate guys. I would watch them like a HAWK if so.

    Yes they will, just not as much as most fish. Pipes are normally slow swimmers, so they don't have a fast metabolism as lets say a tang.

    Beautiful creatures though, if anything goes AWOL in my tank, im doing pipes after i get it all settled out.

    It will be small, but of course it will effect your bioload. All fish poop and pee. :)
