Yeah I'd buy ten of them at that price. Can't even find one over here. I'm thinking it might be mislabeled and is actually a baby senegalus.
Yay! My new ropefish!

Were I live, I've only seen 3 for sell at my lps in the past 5 years. And all of them were from homes that they out grew.
Ok, making a trip to LFS tomorrow to load up on palmas. 
I already have a fully-seeded filter to run on my 20G , too. LOL
And they weren't senegals, of that I am sure.
I don't like to feed feeders, because the ones you buy at the LFS are in horrid condition, and I'm too lazy to breed my own, but I've got lots of frozen foods for him, and a pretty big bag of sinking carnivore pellets. My ornate ate those when he was a bit smaller. If he doesn't like the pellets, we'll give him lots of prawns, beefheart, and silversides.

Ok, so my sister got home and I asked her if she wanted to see the new purchase. LOL Now where the hell did he go?
We searched high and low in my room for the little ****er and after I dismantled the filter I found him inside it. This should be, if not fun, then definitely interesting. I was going to buy some needlepoint board to ropefish-proof my tank tomorrow. Guess that isn't soon enough. LOL So every five minutes I'm sure I'll be checking to see if he's still there. For now, I've got strips of stencil sheet covering every conceivable gap.

Interesting....I hope he doesn't jump out of the tank. But it sounds like you have things under control. Very cool! I wish you the best of luck again!! Enjoy the Night-Watch Grave-yard shift!
It's funny, because I had checked him not five minutes before I tried to show him off and he was right there at the time. LOL.
I snapped on the strips of rigid plastic to the back of my hood, and the only way he could have gotten out was to fight the filter current and climb over the biowheels. Catching him was a lengthy process too. Once you get ahold, he's snaked his way right out of your hand. Once we knew where he was, it still took a good 15 minutes to get him back into the tank. LOL Well, at least I know he's got spirit.

I'll snap some pics of him looking perfectly innocent later. Right now he just looks pissed off because I had to manhandle him back into the tank before he was stupid enough to investigate the impeller.
