Yeah...with shipping at the WS it would come to a 90-100 bucks for that fish. with this guy it would end up being 55. I'll see if I can get him to get some albino senegals too. That would make the hit a little easier to take if i'm buying 2.

Hmm...well i thought i had successfully gotten my ropefish to eat hikari carnivore pellets. Alas I was wrong. I've been soaking them in bloodworm juice for a couple of weeks now and either he ignores them completely or gnaws on it a little and spits it out.

Starting to think i may need to consider doing some form of frozen/live food as a staple. Thoughts on getting redworms/earthworms at the bate shop and freezing them and feeding?

Not that you want him on live constantly, but wiggling little worms usually trigger feeding in picky fish the best. The other thing is to try night feeding. Just put in a pile of tilapia cut up to bite sized for the rope after lights are out.
