Rope Fish


Minimum Tank Size: 50 gallons
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Water Conditions: 79-86°F, KH 8-22, pH 6.0-7.5
Maximum Size: 2 ft. 11 in.
Diet: Carnivore
Compatibility: Not Found :'(
Origin: Africa
Notes: This fish is a very social fish, that you can even play with! Since this fish is found in slow or standing still bodies of water, this fish has developed modified swim bladders, that it uses as lungs. This fish requires the company of other Rope Fish, and needs a heavily planted aquarium with LOTS of hiding places, since it has snake like behavior. Feed this fish chopped meats, or live foods
