I was just about to tell you that. That and a 29 isn't sufficient to house them. I've kept Polypterus (related species) and I've had 2 take a leap out of my aquarium on me

It's not that I wouldn't recommend them. Ropefish and Polypterus are actually some of my favorite fish all time (Polypterus Delhezi and Teugelsi in particular). They just happen to need specific requirements and larger tanks.
