Elephant Noses

Recommended Posts

From day one I wanted one of these fish, but held back due to reports of them being rather hard to keep, and also being a "newbie" well after a year or so with a tank ( I think I've learnt a bit ) and after doing some research on these interesting oddballs, I now have one as a new addition to my tank :D

Yes he has a name...thanks to a workmate who dropped by, and wanted to see this fish......sadly the fish had stagefright and wouldnt show himself, well all of himself anyway, and simply kept his front half out of view...........The comment was past by my workmate that it reminded him of that guy of TV's "Home Improvement" show, you know the one that wont show his face! And so......My elephant nose has aquired the name "WILSON" :wink:

Anyway, enough on the background, I'm just wondering how many other Elephant nose keepers are out there, and what their experiences with these fish are?

Good name for him :lol:

I have not kept them myself but someone in Dunedin had one a few years ago and it is the only one I have seen (I seem to remember I only got to see part of that one too). I understand they are very timid and shy during the day, especially when in new surroundings.
