How do you care for your rope fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Seems i may have to pick one of these guys up if I upgrade my stock to another 75 gallon :P
 
Mine won't eat anything but blood worms and I have been trying to switch them onto pellets with no success.

Try cut up market shrimp,(Shrimp ring) and or fish fillets chopped into small pieces mine love um
 
Are there any fish you shouldn't mix them with? I currently have a 40gal long, fully cylced, with a couple of fish in it decent size. Saw one at the LFS for $12.99, he was about 6-8" and thought about picking him up. Also, the back of the tank has an opening that was already cut out before I got it(bought off of craigslist), is there any issue with them jumping out/escaping?
