Polypterus senegalus and ropefish

[stu9158]

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have much experience with ropefish?
I am looking at getting on but its around 9inch. The concern i have is my Polypterus senegalus is only 3-4inch.

Would this cause any problems?

Cheers in advance

I have three ropes that range from 10-12". I just added 3 P. retropinnis that are 3-4". No issues at all.

Cheers for the reply!

That sounds good then I will have a look into getting him.

Is there diet much different from bichirs or is it about the same?

Thanks again
