Rope fish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus) are so majestic as they move through the water in my opinion, but I know a lot of you don't like these snake like fish. Definitely a marmite fish! I'm on the ❤️ team. These fish are escape artists so definitely need a secure tight fitting lid. Also in this tank are some black ghost knife fish but they were being very secretive.

Meet the reed fish — also known as the rope fish! They look like eels, but they’re actually relatives of bichirs — a group that’s been around for over 100 million years! They can grow up to two feet long, live for over a decade, and even breathe air! They’re peaceful, mostly nocturnal, and eat meaty worms, shrimp, and small fish. Just make sure your tank’s covered — they’re sneaky escape artists and love to explore! Definitely one of the coolest, most prehistoric fish you can keep at home! #aqua
