Rope or Nope

[twentyleagues]

Ok so some of you know my current tank and the fact that Ive got a 180 just dying to get wet. My stock at this point is 2 delz, 2 golddust, moke, albino, sen, polli, a few random others I am not worried about for purposes of this Question and or Poll, and a teug. So I have wanted/always liked Ropefish also but seeing magpie trio has got me wanting some. Lfs has about 20 in stock as of Saturday ranging in size from 8" to about 13" he said he'd hold 3 of the bigger ones for about a week for me while the 180 finishes its cycle (oops cats out of the bag and tank). So on to the Poll with my stock Rope or Nope?

Would say get it.

Do you think Teug will be an issue later in life?

Had three with my old cb teugelsi and no issues. That was in my 125g and it was about 14in and no issues. Keep some places for the ropes and other polys to hide and should be fine.

You know my answer already

They love plants.

I love them.

They are smiley snake fish.

I think they're really beautiful, graceful swimmers and they like their own company and the company of the other polys.

Mine eat out of my fingers.

Mine are very gentle with all of the other polys.

Mine are active and swim around a lot.

I say YES! Get 3 of them minimum.

I will say... if you plan on having any lower jaws I have been advised against keeping them with the LJs. They are very thin and worm-like.

So... if you want to keep any LJs I would then amend my answer to Nope.
