The Ropefish, also known as the Reedfish, or the Snakefish, is a large peaceful freshwater fish that is suitable for the community aquarium (assuming that tankmates are similar in size). In the wild these fish are solitary and keeping several calabaricus together can be unpredictable and may lead to injury, or possibly death. However, saying this I have heard of them being kept in groups before with no problems.

E. calabaricus prefers conditioned, neutral water. Regular water changes will keep this fish healthy and in peak condition. Because of its potential size of 36 inches, this fish will need plenty of swimming room. An aquarium of at least 90 gallons is strongly recommended. The Ropefish will actively swim throughout all levels of the tank.

This species is readily available through many fish retailers. To my knowledge, E. calabaricus has never been successfully bred in the aquarium.

Hope this helps and Good Luck

And if your not carefull they can jump 3" up out of a tank when it usually carefull owner left the lid off, and can crawl 3ft into the next room.!

I speak from experience (as if you hadn't already guessed!)
