Rope Fish keepers?

Ive have them with Australian rainbows. They are cheap and pretty hardy. And they are schoolers. i also had small clown loaches and bala sharks without any issue with the ropes

Dont risk it man. I've seen gars venture towards the bottom at feeding time and ropes will swim all over the place

gar and ropes should get along fine. I see no issues with that pairing.

HAs anybody tried Gars with ropes? Gar seem to like the upper region of the tank, and still eat live foods. Will the ropes and gar conflict?

Yup doing it right now.
See/search some of my posts.

Won't get ropes again though to much like baby sitting the way they get out.

Mine has duct tape anywhere where they could get out.

no they won't swim up the out flow or unless the filter is off.

I've had one get out 2x once before the duct tape and once after a WC due to not sealing the tape all the way.

They like to swim up into the HOB filters. so when I can't find one I tap on he HOB's and it will swim back out.

ETA: They can shoot out of the water pretty far. My tank is 27 inches H and yesterday I has about 80 90 % of the water out during a WC and one shot right up to the top rim almost making it out. tank had about 4 inches of water on the bottom still.
