Rope fish owners anyone?

[squirt2005]

So, like the title says. Any keepers?

I have one small rope I my brother got rid of (it was eating his small rasboras, what a shocker). It's about 8" and 1/2" diameter. I'm feeding it cut up shrimp, worms and some gut loaded feeders. It's only been about 1-2 months since I've had it. Maybe it's grown 1". He sure seemed small when it was given to me.

Yep I have two. One is really small and thin, the other is a lot bigger. Can't really guesstimate how large. The big one is around a foot, maybe bigger I THINK.

I have three in my 90 gallon tank.

9" male
11 - 12" male
13 - 14" female

I had another female that was about 9" but she starved herself to death. And then my Delhezi ate her carcass, so I couldn't even get some store credit.
