Yeah he may, but keeping the bigger ones for me he may not too. They aren't cheap around here and he knows it. For here its a good price
Used to be anti rope before polys. Now I'm too rope after seeing your pics and videos over the months. This was my tipping point. I want one lol. Or I mean three

. Very excited for you to get some ropes! Have you gotten to see the big ones the LFS is holding for you????!! Pics please 
Thanks! But haven't decided yet. Yes I've seen all the ropes but I haven't "seen" the exact ones being held they didn't split them up. They QT all the stuff so it had a held for observation sign on them. I didn't take pics. I should start taking pics at LFS, but I don't because its not mine. I don't feel its wrong or anything just kinda feel weird about doing it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. He wrote a note on tank 3 largest held for me.
No LJs , but do have a jerk ctenopoma and the delzs are twice the size of most others except for the moke. My sen is small and she was first in tank I don't know if she has something wrong with her or if shes just petit. Seems fine eats fine just small and thin. Albino was second in and is only a month newer then the sen about same length but quite a bit thicker. Point to this sen is about the same thickness as a larger rope and ctenopoma or delz don't bother her. Golddust in gen pop is about same thickness of the sen just a little shorter and he was added just before the Moke, no one bothers her. Moke was the biggest poly I've ever purchased at about 5.5" So like it seems everyone has stated should be good! I think ill give them a call and say yeah ill be in next Saturday!!!
I am afraid of snakes and worms. Hahah. So perhaps anti, is not the best word...but definitely fearful yes.... And I didn't know how graceful ropes were
My Cteno was also kind of a jerk, but he never bothered any of my polys or ropes. Just the tetras. But I know each fish is different.
I don't hear about upper jaws eating other polys very often. Maybe it happens. I hear about them BEING eaten by LJs.
I can't remember what you have set up for your lid but if you don't have literally every inch sealed get out the duct tape.

I have a friend who hates snakes, too, and he hates my ropes. (But is OK with my other polys, because they look more like dragons/dinosaurs. Okayyy.) I try to convince him by showing how sweet, smiley, and graceful they are, but he hasn't been convinced.
