really? but im gonna have others though it wouldnt work?..

Other what? Fish? Bichirs?
I had three ropes and three senegal in my 55 for several years along with other fish. Never had any issues.

No other fish I've seen can match the ropefishes swimming pattern. It is very relaxing to watch. They also tame VERY easily. Any time my hand goes into the tank I'll have a ropefish swimming through my fingers within about 30 seconds. Not even senegals do that. :)
