Hello,
I'm going to be picking up a 150g or 180 cube tank soon (don't know which, the person said 150, but also said it's footprint was 48" x 36" which would make it a 180, I think). I am planning to put a school of Elephantnose fish (7-9) in there along with a fire eel. Does anyone have personal experiences with EN fish, especially keeping them in groups in a large aquarium? I have read everything I can possibly find on the internet I think, but still have found very few personal experiences, mainly just people repeating things from things I've already read. Anyone have any comments on how a group this size would do in a pretty big tank?

Thanks!

Can't help you but looking for info myself. I really want these fish now but it's hard to find much info on them!

No experience in schools but I think the foot print would be great. According to King-el, they work great in schools.It took my EN about five years to get to 10 inches, so that tank should last a long time if not permanently.
