These look really cool and I would like one. I'm cycling a 55 gallon and would this be a good fit. I also have a peacock eel, would this work? Finally is there different types other than the peters and the worm-jawed? Plus care for them, just the basics. Thanks!
 
Yes their is another type of elephant nose. It gets much bigger though, 2 feet long. Its called something like congo elephant nose i dont recall the name exactly. Quite rare and MUCH more delicate than the peters. They die like wildfire, almost as bad as WC seahorses. Never have owned or seen 1 other than pics. It has a marbled coloration i can upload pic if wanted. Obviously as the name suggests its from the congo basin. Or somewhere around congo.
