Ropefish people where y'all at?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've got two ropes in a 55 by themselves. Anyone got theirs esting pellets? Only pellets mine will take are Ken's Fish earthworm pellets. Won't touch anything else other than frozen bloodworms and chopped frozen krill.
I noticed most polys will take shrimp pellets, even a wild caught poly likes them. Im not sure if a rope fish will too, its small enough for them to eat.
 
Went hunting for more ropes today, found two big dark green males with bright orange bellys.

Now I have 3 males and 3 females.

I noticed the LFS didnt have a good lid on their tank so I checked underneath the tank and look what I found: crispy calabaricus :D

Wish you guys could've seen the employees faces when I asked if I could have the dry fish on the floor lol

Tried wetting it but it was probably there for a few days.

Nice pickup but sad sight there at the bottom :(

I remember with the 2 big piebald Clarias they had at one lfs they had a load of wooden planks and heavy things on the tank because one jumped and walked around in the night :rolleyes:
 
So I'm new to polys but we're allowed to blame J jaws7777 for all poly addictions right? If so thanks for getting me hooked lol

What !! Im getting blamed here too lol

"You need peope like me"

 
Poor ropefish! :( I hope they upped their cover game after that.

I bet your group is happy with more to noodle around with.

Yeah I was bummed I could've taken home three :/

I also picked up some water lettuce while I was there and the ropes are loving it.
 
I maybe bought another rope today... it was just so cute, little 8" worm, looks tiny next to my 16ish" original one. I almost came home with a 15" TT Eel too but decided to wait on that one. Really hoping he grows quick since i put him in the main tank so he doesnt jump out of the qt because it doesnt have the best lid on it
