Extremely territorial. I had one in my 90g & within 1 day, he had 1/2 the tank & all the other fish were huddled in the other 1/2.

Very similar to the elephantnose. I'd say around 40g minimum.

They are the same as the elephantnose. Not necesarily schooling but they squabble if there are 2, so 1 or 3+ are best. You'd need quite a large tank for 3. I inherited 2 18 year old elephant noses that lived in a 30g tank their whole lives. They are now in my 125g & quite happy. I see them squabble quite a bit but I figure if they've made it this long together... Kind of like an old married couple.
