ropefish

I have been slowly preparing my little 40 gallon breeder over the past (checks calendar) five months, and over that time I have generally been planning to acquire a bichir, I haven't the permission nor capitol to secure a larger tank (as much as it pains me), so I have to make due with the...

Hello, My second ropefish got attacked by my other ropefish on his tail. I had to separate them because they didn’t stop fighting and also to let the wounds heal. Quite soon the scales became more white and started growing a fuzz. I have been using eSHa 2000 for almost two weeks now and do not...

Hi everyone, I’m new here and am hoping I’m posting this in the right place. Some backstory: Years back I took over a friend’s aquarium and the fish in it. I was very interested in fish and they wanted to find them a better home. They told me there were Black Mollies in there and I was very...

I'm wanting to keep a couple ropefish with my 11 inch endlicheri Bichir but concerned he'll try to eat them. He tried to eat my 5 inch Senegal twice. I'm worried my Endli is extra aggressive and would kill even a full grown ropefish, but I see other people keep them together. I'm relatively new...

A recent thread (What is your favorite polyterus?) brought me to the idea for this poll. I know the theme is the same, but i am interested in real Numbers. I know it's a difficult and i'm also not shure about my answer right now...so i'll give this enough time ?. How it Works: everyone has...

I have 2 rope fish I've had for about 4 years now that I care about very much, about 7 mouths ago I got a very young dinosaur birchir at the pet store. He was about 4 inches long when I first him and planned to only keep him in the tank with the rope fish while he was tiny and move him to a 50...

I’ve had my ropefish since November. Overall he’s done pretty well. I fed him primarily tilapia as that’s the only thing he want to eat for the most part. I recently switched to cod. The last few days I’ve noticed he was acting rather strange. Choosing to float around at the top of the tank...

Hi! Long story short, my 55 galon freshwater tank cracked, and I cannot replace it. These fish are hanging out in a bucket with an airstone and need to go to a new home ASAP. I’m gonna try calling LFSs tomorrow too but will update this thread if they become unavailable. 3 ropefish, medium...

Hey y’all! I know they’re not polypterus but this is the closest forum I found. I’ve had two young ropefish in a 55g community tank for about a month. I made the mistake of feeding them primarily frozen bloodworms with some frozen brine shrimp for most of this time. After further reading I...

Got a ropefish recently. He’s been doing okay except he’s very picky. I’ve tried: fluval bug bites, homemade fishfood (beefheart), chopped up earthworms, and freeze tried tubifex worms. I can’t do bloodworms or shellfish as I’m severely allergic to both :(. I’ve only ever seen him eat once...

Hi! I got some rope fish recently and I'm really crazy about them. I adore their little snake faces and their tiny flappy pectorals. I did a lot of research before buying them, but now that they're here I'm looking for advice from people who have actually kept them. I want to make sure they're...

So my 4 ropes are finally here and will be added to the 180 next week. I have 2 questions before adding the ropes. 1. I have had the 180 running as a guppy/platy tank for the last few months so they will breed like crazy and the rope could have fish to eat in case it doesn’t want bloodworms...

I'm looking for 2 Juvenile ornate bichirs and 4 juvenile ropefish to pick up in SoCal

Let me know if wrong place, it’s my first post here after constantly reading other advice lol. I have a 180 gall tank that I’ve had for awhile and haven’t got it running due to being torn on what to stock it with. And as I kept thinking about it I realized I want a ton of bottom dwellers and...

Hello, just wondering if a pleco and a ropefish are compatible in a 150 gallon aquarium?

Enjoy guys, I felt artsy! These are a few of my mini monsters getting fattened up. Only one missing is my ornate and regular sen.

Please help. I was dumb enough to buy an endli bichir. And added it to my 120 gal ropefish tank. I feed them a mix of earthworms, squid, fillet fish and an ocassional bloodworm treat. My endli began to bulk up and tonight when i was about to feed them i saw my ropefish tail bit sticking out of...

So I ordered a Reedfish over the weekend. It arrives Thursday. It's about 11 inches long. I have two tanks it can go in. It can go with my baby Bichirs (3 inch Senegal, 5.5 inch Albino Senegal, 6 inch Ornate, 5 inch Endli) or my Oddball tank (7 inch Alligator Gar ((Being Donated to local...
