Show your ropes

Anyone else out there keep ropefish? Let's see some pics. All I have right now is pics of mine in quarantine.

Here's one of mine. I only have one other & it's not as pretty. I've had a hard time acclimating them. They seem to be pretty susceptible to bacterial infections while under stress (when you first bring them home). I've lost several to this. When they get it, it happens fast! With my new one, I used Life Guard when I got it & everything went fine.

I don't have any good shots of my pair...I'll try to get more later today:

I've noticed that my female is briiiight neon green, and the male is darker olive green.

I wonder if that's sexual dimorphism, or if males can have the same bright green color as well?

Looks exactly like a garden snake with fins.

I don't like the look of snakes. They're kind of creepy when they slither around. I prefer delhezi more because they look more like an aquatic lizard/alligator.
