..Elephant Nose Fish (Gnathonemus petersii)
The small little worms were unaware of a pair of cocky eyes staring at them. Aware of an electrical current hitting their bodies and seeing a flimsy nose moving, they fled in terror. They wriggled furiously, but sometimes your hardest isnt enough. An elephant nose fish swam into view, fluttering pectoral fins, hovering in the water. The elephant nose fish swam at steady speed and grasped its prey with a tight nose grip. The first worm was thrown into the elephant nose fishs mouth and the rest followed in an ordinary fashion.
The Elephant nose fish is a predatory bottom dweller fish that evolved a nose and electrical organ like the elephant nose knifefish, its rare cousin. Its impressive nose, which seeks food with, makes it look very good-looking.
Following will be content about the elephant nose fishs habitat, physical and mental characteristics, human inter-relationships, and evolution.
The elephant nose fish lives in Africa, in the many lakes and rivers like lake Tanganyika. They, with their sharp smelling noses, seek out small fish and fish fry, as well as worms, which they crave for. This fish has a very nice home a cave or an open piece of driftwood/bogwood. They like this place, for they have shelter, and a nice hunting spot. This species is a freshwater type, though they could coat with brackish. They have a personality that is astonishing. That is because their brain to mass ratio is even greater than humans.
Elephant nose fish have a small nose that sticks out of its jaw. This nose probe detects food in the waters surrounding it. This happens because of an EOD (electrical organ discharger) in its tail. As well, this specie swims backwards towards possibly unsecured places when they are exploring a new area. That way, if a predator attacks, they let out a discharge of electricity up too 170 volts max. The elephant nose fish also has a pair of always fluttering pectoral fins, and a nice cliché looking tail. They have a pair of blue, light sensitive eyes, which are its second way of discovering prey.
The elephant nose fish are a brilliant species, for they are smart, cunning, and agile. Their brain to body mass is larger than humans, often outwitting fishkeepers in aquariums.
