Looks good and that pleco is huge!

i'd be worried that that pleco would eat all your plants. sweet tank tho

Rope fish? This will be cool.

Looks like a good start. If you want to call it ropefish paradise you need to get those plants to grow in much thicker though.
Any pics of the ropefish?

 

[Nesopheus]

In my experience the Rope fish is a burrower and it is a struggle trying to grow some of the background plants.

Hmmm. In almost 15 years of keeping ropefish, I have never seen one burrow. Mine have always been in heavily planted tanks. Even delicate plants are left alone by them. That pleco on the other hand, will definately rip up every plant in it's path.
Nice looking rope btw.

Pre-aquapocalypse, lost 17 fish over night. Both ropes and the plec survived.
