It will be fine. I have a senegalus that is abput 7 inches with a 10 inch ropefish
theres no problem...

lol, id go for it depending on the price of the ropes.

 

[elbeatch]

the ropes are being traded for a 6" pleco, they're about 30 cm, 1 ft each, decent size but thi. It's a great deal for me, but if one gets eaten and lodged in her throat I'll be in the hole one bit fat ornate. I think I'm gonna try it.

Is it a common plec or an L number?

 

[pophead]

the common has an L number too.

 

[elbeatch]

not a very expensive pleco, supposidly it's L. pardalis, I have two, trading one for 2 ropes.

I'd vote GO FOR IT.

ah the guy got attached to his ropes, he was holding them to sell and wants to keep them now. Go figure, charming fish. ANyways i heard plecos will suck the slime off the bichirs, mine doesnt do that but other than that is there anything else I should know about plecos and bichirs? will he get aggressive eventually? stab with the pectoral fins?

Honestly, i dont know much about plecs. Since i learned about 10 years ago (from experience, btw) that they suck on other fish's slime coat, i pretty much stopped searching for info on them.
