i want to move some fish around to make some tank space. Do you think I can house a 10 inch rope fish withe ornates or is that too risky? Thanks

I think you got it backwards, longer and skinny is female, thicker and broader is male.

Totally right!

I think might be abit risky, better make sure your tank is properly covered, the smallest gap and your ropefish will be left out to dry. They are escape artists.
