I just bought two African Ropefish from Petco. They're currently in a 45 gallon hexagonal with a gold nugget pleco, a common pleco and 4 platties. Since they're air-breathers and they can eat small fish, and they're small (right now at least), i'm going to move them to a 10 gallon that is shallower and has more hiding places, and doesnt have any platties for them to eat.
One of the african ropefish goes on its back a lot. Not in the "dead goldfish" way, though. He lies down on his back at the bottom of the tank. He will move when he's touched, and be upright for a bit, but then he goes back (or maybe the other one does? I cant tell the two of the apart).
any ideas on why he does this?
thanks,
georgio
