I just got 1. any others here?

my elephantnose eats so slow. the rest of the fishes eats faster than him. I wonder is his magnetic nose working anot. The blood worms is right under his nose yet he never eats. I think he may die soon

Try feeding the elephant nose at night, then slowly work feedings during the day. BTW do you have any thing aquarium where it can retreat to such as ornaments , plants, even pvc pipe.

I have plants n wood but he doesnt hide there. maybe because theres ghost fishs there.

yes

The reason I asked was to make sure you knew that they both produce eletrical signals, and are active at night, so the bk's will be eating the blood worms too I personally would still drop blood worms after lights out. Observe whats going on also when lights are off making sure there is no aggression towards elephant nose.

I did observed after lights off. usually the 2 ghost knife fishes chase or swim about by themselves. they dont bother him. but I will observe again
