Trying To Feed The Ropefish again...

Well it is 11:00 auspet is mostly dead with no posts. So I am gonna post. I was trying to make a feeding jar for my ropefish when I found a big old glass jar. I put saran wrap over the covering and cut a hole perfect size for the little bugger. Then i put the blooodworms in it and stuck it in the water and aimed it at his little cave hut. Hopefully the bloodworms are gone by tomorrow morning unlike the tubifex worms or I only have 3 ideas left.

 

Good luck, keep us updated!

 

Update:: :x :x :x Will this Ropefish eat anything??? The bloodworms were in the same container this morning molding up. ARG!! Well I am moving this guy to a 10 gallon for the time being to watch his habits and eating style. He won't have to swim around so much for the food.

 

its take them a long time to warm at to there new enviroment and if you move he/she you start it all over again

 

Would another Ropefish ease him up a bit??

 

i don't think so but maybe you could try it if you have enough room for it

 

Now, I guess you understand how I felt when I made all those topics and posts about how to make my ropefish eat and I couldn't get an answer that worked.


Welcome to the club.

 

Yeah I think people that recommend these fish to ANY aquariu hobbyist are ignorant.

 

yes they are a very hard and weird fish

 

But, I find them to still be one of best fish ever, its just that they aren't for everyone.

 

Also, in regards to feeding, I noticed that when a drop bloodworms in my and my oscars somehow don't see it and the bloodworm cube drops to the group he will find it and gulp it up. He will only eat food that is on the ground. Maybe it might be the same thing as yours. Good luck.

 

Well the feeder guppy that was in their for few days finally "disapeared" :lol: :wink:

 

Oh yeah, when I went to my lfs and asked them what to feed my ropefish, they had no idea what it was to begin with but they were nice.
