After a tumultuous hour, my husband and I were finally able to extricate the ropefish from his horrible siphon captor. Big shout out to Python for making a genuinely quality product. it didn't help my particular situation but i can personally attest to how well made their stuff is based on how long it took to cut through the hose and the connections lol.
I know we aren't out of the woods yet but I feel better knowing he isn't trapped anymore. thanks to everyone for the support.

Saw your post earlier, glad it turned out okay! Hopefully the fish makes a full recovery!
This is great. I saw it earlier as well and felt so sad for the poor booger. Best of luck, dude!!
well?? Wheres the man of the hour?? Is he doing alright??
You’re going to want to have the rope fish in a medical tank with 1%-1.5% aquarium salt. It helps speed up healing.
I hope he pulls through. It’s happened to me. Even being careful it can happen. There is a lot of suction power in those python siphons if it’s the one you attach to a faucet. You can feel it covering the end with your hand. Imagine being a small fish and having to endure that with your body.
