So i saw this vid on youtube of a dolphin fish pushing a ping pong ball around an swimming thro a hoop. I put some ping pong balls in my tank an my dolphin stared pushing them around just like a reall won. I got a vid if i can ever figure out how to get it off my phone heres a pic tho. Photo1655.jpg

I am not 100% convinced that this is all they are ever trying to do. Mine never really liked ping pong balls...and never touched it after about 48hrs in the tank.
 
i was thinking that to put i take them out an put them back in he always does it mines dsnt hide tho like ive herd alot of ppl say
 
ummm, that's a REALLY cool looking fish spotted-elk. its a dolphin? im not sure iv ever heard of it. does it have other common names? what about a latin name so i can research tank requirements for them?
 
never mind, looked it up, mormyrus kannume is the latin name. fishbase says it can get to 100 cm or something large. cool fish, but too big for me to keep right now.
 
fresh water dolphin fish / mormyrus kannume , thers a bunch of dif kinds of them i think tho they all look perty similar there kinda elephant nose in the same fam
 
where can i get one of these
