Sadly this is one of the species where most of the internet information is completely utterly wrong

Chubs i didn't meen they would reach 36" i was just saying the better you take care of it the bigger it is most likely going to get.........

75g if you really wanted one and you were very limited on space you could do a 55g, but i wouldn't recommend it

 

[archers]

an 18" wide 55g is perfectly fine for a ropefish

40 breeder would be ok but I would go for >55g if possible.

Now from seeing everyone else's opinion could i fit a rope fish in my 75 with my weeksi, delhezi, senegalus, SB senegalus, ornate, moke, buettikoferi, and palmas palmas? (going to upgrade to 125 or 180) None of they are over 8" the weeksi is 8 the ornate is 7.5 and the del is 7.5 everything else is 6.5 or under
