Hi, I just got an elephant nose and I hear that the only thing they eat is live or frozen food. Is there anyway I can get it to eat pellets? And same goes for the black ghost knife?
 
Its best for them to eat live and frozen food like blood worms and mysis shrimp, you can purchase some frozen food at almost all peet stores.
Also are those 2 fish in the 29g?
 
you can work on trying to get them to take pellets. i believe i have seen a few people who have got them on dry food but its not easy.
 
Take the elephant nose back or find it a good home. Please. They are very specialized fish that have no business being for sale to the general public IMO. The knife should go back too. Both tanks in "My tanks" are too small. Were they cycled?
 
I love ghost knife but they grow to 2 foot plus, and are carnivorous night feeders. Every morning your elephant nose could be missing a bit ....
