The ropefish (also known as reedfish, or snakefish) is native to fresh and brackish waters in West and Central Africa. It possesses a pair of lungs in addition to gills, allowing it to survive in water that is low in oxygen. Pretty crazy, huh? What’s not crazy is having a ropefish here at Mike’s waiting for a fish enthusiast to take this amazing fish home and care for it like a ropefish should be cared for!
