Question
Hi there

I wonder if you can help me i just bought a new rope fish and he is not eating at all and i a scared that he might die soon:(
I have tried blood worms and fish flake, he/she dose not want to eat any of it.

Can you please help me????

Answer
Jason,

Since Rope fish will eat just about anything, I would try giving him something different. Also, they do tend to take a bit of time to get used to their surroundings. I also know that it helps if there are more than one in the tank. I am hoping you have a very large tank, because they need 45 to 55 gallons minimum. Be careful with these little guys, the are escape artists and you will find them sleeping in your filter. Hope this helps.
