sorry to hear about the ropefish :( and yeah hope your weeksii digest it alright. keeping fingers crossed. i once had the most gorgeous weeksii i've ever seen and it ate a juv delhezi, but as if that wasn't enough, before it even digested that one it went and ate another one. suffice to say i ended up losing 3 fish :(
Sorry for the lost! I was thinking about put rope fishes and bichirs togheter!! Now I know what happens!!

wish u had video of the eating :WHOA: , would have been nice to see :headbang2
ya, i am kinda sad i missed the show. it probably wasnt a fast ordeal. the weeksii had to swallow 11" of rope!!! would have been worth it if i got video.
update: day two of weeksii digestion looks good :) belly is not as crazy deformed or distended. i think everything is going to be okay.

That would be bad! If I had those and I happened to me, I would be yelling "Oh !@#$" then find the camera, start laughing, and relize that I had a 10 inch great looking bicher! So, did you actually see it happen?
