thanks from me for looking darlokev, this is the type of thing we are wanting the forum to provide for our members. hopefully as the membership inceases finding fish in this way will become a lot easier.

oh and ill keep a look out for these fish too mate.

Cheers lads

I've always wanted one of these, what are they like to care for? I saw some in Pets at Home a while back, maybe they could get some for you?

Yea I'll try there they really active fish I've kept them in community and with larger fish thinking of trying them in my cichlid tank

What you got in your community? I'd like to try them in my puffer tank, the puffs seem to get along fine with the eels so i cant see the problem with a rope fish.

Are they rope fish ok with syno cats, plecs and corys?

I've just been reading up on em, says they are carnivorus and will eat smaller fish,especially at night when sleeping close to or on the bottom. So your corys etc,may be in danger

I think it's about trial and error if they well fed should b ok I never had a problem

Thanks DH. I might risk it though, I've had mp issues so far with supposedly aggressive fish.

No problem matey, I spose as long as you keep em well fed, things should be ok. But as I said, there is a chance like.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way when my tyre track eel ate all my endlers and danios lol
