New to Rope Fish - help on set up

[thefredpit]

magpie quick question, how often should I be feeding the rope tilapia or any food in general? i don't want to over feed her, but i don't want to under feed her either so she doesn't go after the piggies. she has so far been leaving them alone, although tonight she whipped 2 of them in the head to get them away from her pellets lol

I feed tilapia every 2-3 days and pellets daily, I feed the pellets daily because it lowers the aggression in my afer knifefish (named jacka$$). I would feed daily till the rope is 9-10" where they slow their growth then lower the frequency

I've never had a rope b4. If there's a half, or 1/4 inch diameter opening, or even smaller. Is it 100% likely they will find that opening sooner or later???? If so, that's hella stressful. Lol

it was stressful when I didn't have a tight fitting lid(I lost 2) but since I got the tight fitting lid the only thing to get out was my 7" ornate who hit the lid with such force she lifted the lid and ended up on top of it, luckily I was standing there

I think so. Id not for life then a very long time. Its probably cb like mine and ive had mine for a little pver 3 yrs amd its maybe 15 to 16 inches. dmcskoolkid how big would u say it is ?

As far as acclimating all i dp is float the bag, get temps to match and in the tank it goes....only the fish not the water

15-16" very big meatball status

I feed every other day, with pellets every other feeding. I can't recal if she's eating the pellets or not yet?

Not sure, and I never wanted to find out so.... seal it up and problem solved. Duct tape works for me. And it's real real classy like. (Actually no one notices it.)

Plus if you get the silver kind it adds 5 horse power per square inch!

if you get the camo duct tape you get 10 horsepower and it will blend in with the background so you don't see it
