elephant nose

[cj5jeep80]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a discus tank and have always wanted to get an Elephantnose Fish. My question is, would it be too hot for an Elephantnose in my tank. The temperature is a steady 86 degrees. I would really love to add this little guy to my tank but I don't want to get him if I am just going to kill him. One guy at the LFS says 86 is fine and then I asked another guy and he said it's a little too hot so I am not sure what to believe. I have lots of plants, driftwood and lava rock for him to hide in and I do 25-30% water changes every 4-5 days.

Any help/advise would be appreciated.

Have a great day,
Lori

Should be fine I keep most of my tropicals at 85-87F but he might be a little feisty with your discus their not killer aggressive but moderate I would say. I have seem them attack each other at my Lfs but not other fish. I can't really say much since I've never owned one. Good luck man do some google search on them I do this also at the Lfs on my phone a quick small search for a care sheet. But a member will chime in soon I bet.

they are peaceful with most non electric fish.
