I have an elephant nose had him for a year now! He's my pride and joy, i have him in a 50 gallon tank he's getting really big. I also have kept glass catfish too cool fish :)
 
Sorry just noticed you wanted info lol both need a mature tank, no ammonia or nitrite and nitrate must be kept low. Elephant needs a cave or tube to hide in, they need fed lights off live bait and will then accept frozen. Clean water i change 40-50% every four days. No sharp objects as they are easily hurt. They need a tank size 50 gallon up. When they mature they can become aggressive which mine has! Their great fish mine gets hand fed :)

Every fish is different, i re homed most of my stock because he was needing the room for himself. I haven't tried mine with tetras so I'm not sure, they should stay out of his way. Just make sure he gets his food as they can be slow feeders. You can't add meds to your tank with the elephant or glass catfish as they're sensitive. Just keep an eye on it I hope it works for you. He's lovely. If you need anymore help feel free to contact me :)
