Rope Fish availability

Good day

I am a new member here but not new to the types of fish that I have and had in the past.
I'm Based in Western Cape Southern Suburbs I CANNOT find any rope fish anywhere I called a number of places.
Any recommendations of pet/aquariums that will definitely have please?
Preferably southern suburbs else northern suburbs, I have called many stores in bother suburbs but to no avail. The rope fish must be 13-15cm long for the least.

I know some shops order 50 then 12 of them die after a few days at the shop.
I have had these sneaky guys before so my tank is all ready for them, I would like 5 of them with the above mentioned size in length.

I think they are seasonal not sure on that 1, my previous local store could supply on demand.

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

 

Hi and welcome to the Forum

Unfortunately I'm in Gauteng but, Wazeer Aquariums usuall have and they ship..

 

Thanks guys Perky pets can order but says these monsters are seasonal.
I did try and order from Wazeer Aquariums but out of stock.
Also the rope fish in my experience takes a lot of stress so I spoke to a local store, he ordered 50 and 12 died, similarly few years ago when I bought 4 none of them made it I check my ph and everything.
Thanks once again.

Regards

 

Ropefish are all wild caught, sometimes with natural poisons to shock them, so the mortality rate is often quite high. Panorama pets often had when I went

 

@Hendre called them a few minutes no stack also can't say when they will have

 

I assume then that they are seasonal or simply subject to availability at stockists

 

@Hendre, yes both.
