Mainly nocturnal, yes, but not specialised feeders....all 8 of my current specimens are quite happy with all sorts of frozen foods and a number of sinking pellets.
Seems this fish will use up much of the available bioload in a 60G.
Not really...in fact you could comfortably house 5-6 ropes in a 60.
Many fish can live with them just fine. If the tankmate(s) is/are too big to eat and don't bother the ropefish, they should all be fine (IME, so far anyway).punky said:Any particular tank mates live with a ropefish?
