Re: elephant nose fish compatibility

um Dazz i dont think it would work very well.* Because the both send off very small electrical currents.* and its not good to have two electric sending fish in one tank, at least thats what i found on the internet. hope that helps.

Yep it be bad idea. Joe is exactly right and they may even fight or the bigger will chase off the other

I do not have an elephant nose but I do have a BGK. If you do that setup, add lots of rock/hiding holes and plants for them to hide in and you would need a massive tank to keep them all as adults.
