I was thinking about getting a polypterus palmas, a ropefish or a delhezi or should i get all 3. what are your thoughts about these three fish
 
ropefish like to be in groups, so dont just get a single one. get like 3-4 at least. if youre gonna get a bichir and our tank is above 75gals, get an ornate. if your tank is less than 75gals, and you want a bichir, get a sen.
 
all depends on how big of a tank you are planning for them.. i say them because i dont think anyone ever ends up with just one..
 
You will get more response if you post in the polypterus section. get them all!
 
My Endli is my favorite as well. But with the fish listed id definitely go Delhezi. Awesome coloring. Mine is very active constantly cruising the tank and he is tough as nails. And yes you cannot own just one Poly it never works that way.

+1 on that !! :D
 
Hezi's fo sho!
 
Out of the 3 your looking at for sure the delhezi. Palmas b is pretty cool, but less active than the del. Never have kept the other two species of palmas but would like to try them. Rope fish are wierd, kind of like a rope. I have never cared much for them.
