Phew - really happy to read that! You were in the right place at the right time. You saved the guy.

I know they're social - so much so that they like to live with rope friends, at least in groups of 3+, so I was just making sure you didn't have other ropes in the tank for the Endli to snack on.

So do you have another tank for either your rope or your endli to live in, or is your endli going to be rehomed?


Lfs does'nt have any ropefish atm. I had my baby shipped. And they have said they don't carry rope fishes anymore. And thats the only place i know that sells them in the Philippines. Soo no rope friends for now. But im looking into finding him a buddy or two :)

And yes! Thank God i think both of them would die. The rope is too long for my endli to swallow whole.

Thank goodness it pulled through! Endlis are little chompers it seems, what's the plan with it now?

I will open a new grow out tank for the endli. Until its big enough to survive in a tank with my 12 inch senegal in my other 120 gall. But the main tank would be my rope fish. Hopefully hes okay i keep on checking on him every now and then just to make sure he is okay.

This is just me. My word is not gospel. I know sometimes it works out but I'd not put that endli with the sen or angels. Jmho. And deffinatly not with the rope again. Glad you were able to save the rope. And the endli would have been fine eating your rope as the front digested he'd just keep working it down.
