can a 5" common bicher be kept with1.5+ foot ropefish?
 
yep, i have had em like that in my tank back when my bichirs were 5"
 
any complications, fights for food, ect. ? did they stay close to eachother or as far away as posible?
 
think the rope is a bit small, its better to seperate the rope then wait it grow to a suitable size before joining it with you senegalus, the rope might have trouble competing for food
 
1.5ft ropefish is a big one. The max I've eye witness is 1ft. Anyway, think it won't have any problem been mixed with bichirs. Btw, it needs hiding spots more than any bichirs do, IMO.
 
I didn't have problem with this combo, and my rope was smaller than the bichirs!!
 
I've had a 5" Senegalus in a tank with a 12" ropefish for several monthes. The ropefish, however, hated my 5" Albino Senegalus.

Actually, nobody seems to like the albino.
