Ideally I would love to put a single BGK, a single baby whale, and a small group 3/5 Elephantnose fish together in a 150g tank. Is this possible?
Conflicting answers on Google. Need to be 100% sure

I believe with enough hiding spots and cover, its possible.

If they get big, they might become territorial

In my experience, elephant noses tend to beat on each other. Never tried to keep them with other Mormyrids.
Whether it will work out is a roll of the dice and I'd be prepared to house them separately.
If you're looking for 100% certainty, then you shouldn't try it.

^All spot on answers. While I've seen it done before, I'll also seen it fail. Lots of hiding areas and plenty of space can increase the chances of it working out, but the chance of it falling apart are also possible. *If* you try, it would be recommended to get them all at a young age and add them either at the same time or within a few days of each-other to reduce the risk of one or another becoming too territorial of the tank too soon.
all said above.
This does not mean that you should not try it, assuming you provide the basics.
We move forward through well calculated experiments, and there are a lot of stories that ended up turning ok.
