My Sengal Bichir thinks the ropes are his babies or is really lonely, I'm thinking...or he's being agressive in an odd way. He follows them round the top & bottom of the tank, lays on top of them and sleeps in their hole.
So thinking that would be a good combo? Never had any fights or loses.
thought I would share an update. I guess I kind of got things backwards. I have three small polypterus senegalus now and one rope fish. Hopefully two more ropes are coming in for me on wednesday.
