Small tankmates may be swallowed. Provide a secure cover, robust filtration, and adequate turning and swimming space for an adult. Maintain easy surface access for breathing and cover every escape gap.
Check every opening around cords and hoses before bringing one home. Ropefish can squeeze out through surprisingly small gaps.
Diet
Use a suitable complete carnivore pellet when accepted, with appropriate varied frozen or fresh invertebrate foods. Confirm feeding response and avoid relying on feeder fish.
