Too funny; you’re teaching us about rope fish and having a hard time finding them and one comes out and swims from point A to point B!😁

You can actually see him/her on this video starting at 15:02 on the left from Matt, which is funny as Matt starts saying there wasn't one while shooting this video :) Thumbs up for the video and this 8ft african aquarium which is really terrific. Thanks Matt.

I had a ropefish back in the day. I kept him in my Mbuna tank. The Mbuna seemed pretty indifferent to him and there were lots of rocks for him to hide in. I often fed floating pellets and he would come up to the top edge and scoop them up against the glass. I also fed bloodworms, sometimes after turning out the lights to give him a good chance to feed on those.
