Does anyone have one of these? If you do then how do you like them? What do you feed yours?

Interesting fish, but I don't own a big enough tank for one. They are carnivores like my sunfish though, and his favorite food is earthworms. After a good rain I always go out and get him a few.

This page says 20+ years. Keep in mind its usually much less in aquariums. I'm not to thriled about the page though because they recommend a minimum 29 gallon tank and I found that even my 6" rainbow shark was crowded in an understocked 30 gallon. For a rope fish I'd think 75+ gallons is more ideal.

We named them Hank & Hannah.
