Hello everyone! Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a 3 inch Senegal Bicher who lives in a 55gal tank with a common pleco and three dwarf gouramis. A week ago, I transfered him to my 125gal tank which houses 2 ropefish, a 4 inch Oscar and a zebra pleco. He now spends all day and all night trying to jump out of the tank(which is covered). Do ropefish and bichers not get along? They do not fight and my water conditions are not an issue. So why is he so upset and want out? The Oscar pays no attention to him either.

I'm more concerned about the zebra--how's the little guy still alive in a tank with ropefish/oscars?

Not sure why he is so jumpy all of a sudden (are you sure he is just not breaching to gulp air?)...perhaps a sudden change in water parameters from one tank to the other? Ropefish and senegal bichirs do fine together, but as Klee pointed out, the bichir will, in time, become a threat to your zebra pleco.
