Question regarding Ropefish

I've tried live BBS, micro worms and daphnia and... the fry ate absolutely nothing. I made a mistake though. I found it this big in my main tank and I should have left it there. I don't know what it was eating there, but it was alive and big. After moving it to a separate cycled tank it ate nothing and ultimately died.
The interesting thing is I don't think ropefish eat their fry. Other fish will try to get it by any means, but I never saw a rope eat one of them. I've never set up a tank for breeding, so my fry was coming and going as other fish were devouring them. This one somehow survived for quite a long time. As per this site information it was probably 5-6 months old at the time.
