Hello all.
I was at my LFS today and whilst browsing the tanks, a troop of ropefish caught my eye. They're really fascinating creatures and i would love to own three or four of them. Would they be happy in my 50gal planted tank? It has sand not gravel, plenty of hiding places and a heavy lid with minimal gaps ( I've heard they're excellent escape artists, luckily my tank is prepared for this as i used to house a crayfish in there!) However, there may be a stocking issue as i have about 30 red cherry shrimp and 5 Endlers... i assume these will be made a meal of almost instantly.??? or is there any hope? perhaps i should think about starting up a new tank minus the bitesize meals, but if theres any hope that these creatures can live in harmony I'm all for it.
thanks for the help.
