So My Palmas has started doing something rather odd with the new Ropefish I got. Other than when the new ropefish decides to go for a swim around the tank (which it does with a lot of frequency) and a when the new ropefish eats (which it eats a bit weirdly by coming to the surface for food when I go to feed some of the other tank mates) the Palmas stays by the new ropefish's side constantly. Very rarely do I catch them apart when they are in their hidey holes and if the ropefish moves the Palmas moves with him. The older ropefish that is a tank mate is pretty much left alone. I don't think there is a problem with this (and if this is behavior that could denote a problem please don't hesitate to tell me) but I found it odd with what I have read about the Palmas. Thought some might find it interesting.
Jic there is something wrong here are the tank specs. 60 gallon, ph 7.3, medium planted, 0ppm ammo, 0ppm nitrite, 20ppm nitrate(all checked daily) Tank stock. 2 ropefish ( know I need to pick up a couple more there is an issue at my lfs and the first one was an impulse buy by my gf) 1 polypterus Palmas, 4 glass catfish, and about 6 ghost shrimp that have not been eaten yet. hiding places 1. medium chicilid stone, 1 lrg driftwood, 1 sml driftwood, 1 hollow "log".
I plan on getting a moke later and eventually moving to a 100 gallon that is cycling atm.
