Mine eat algae wafers with the plecs and pretty much any if the other food I feed the fish that makes it to the bottom. Micro pellets, spirulina flakes, frozen brine shrimp and blood worms. And I have another type of frozen food called fish dinner it has a bit of a mixture in it and spinach and peas as well. They eat it all.

Just wondering from you pic it looks like you have small gravel in your tank, I was told that the elephant nose's need to have sand in the tank, I was thinking about getting one but have gravel like yours. Is it doing ok in your tank?

Mines doing fine had him for 10mths, my gravels round no sharp pieces. I was thinking of changing to sand but he's doing great so I'm not going to change it

That's what mine looks like



Would you say that would be ok?
Plus is there anything that doesn't go well with them?
I have a pleco, frog, loches, mollies, guppy's, catfish, platy and Dwarf gourami's

The main thing I would look for when adding an elephant nose would be how many bottom dweller,s you have, as most can't fight for food. What kind of loachs? & catfish do you have. Mines in a 55 gallon with kuhlis who he doesn't bother.

That's the same as mine lol he should be fine, make sure he has a cave to hide in. And if you do get one, feed him live bloodworm,s when the lights are off that's what I did with mine, if you need anymore info just let me know. They're great fish to have
