Not sure. Stayed at wife's parents house last night. Havent been home yet. LFS said there probably isn't much that can be done. Just watch him.

I posted somewhere else. I thought it was the illness section. Either way, it's good to talk thing out with someone else.

Yup it sucks. But everyone is doing great and I love the rope!

Yeah I heard that also. The end of hi nose doesn't seem to have any movement. I dont know if it can heal itself. I'd hate to see him suffer.

They were doing fine. All eating well an the rope is getting on well with the loaches. I just noticed that the elephant nose has an injury on his snout. It seems like it got cut and a white piece of cartilage is poking out near the base. He hasn't been rooting and seems to be guarding it...

I have an elephant nose in a 36 gallon tank. His tank mate are- 5 neons 3 clown loaches 3 red fin blue tetras 2 black mollies 1 rope fish I just noticed that the elephant nose has an injury on his snout. It seems like it got cut and a white piece of cartilage is poking out near the base...

I think that I'm going to get another and a rope fish on Friday. Thanks.

:-( Nose dive out of tank, shriveled on floor this morning. So sad!

He finally ate! I picked up some live black worms and segregated the loaches. I spot fed him with an unused medicine syringe and he gobbled them up. We were so happy.

Bought 2 tubes. He checked them out, but haven't seen him in it. Still no luck with food. I'm going to try getting frozen brine shrimp, maybe he'll like them better. Tried hand feeding again. Put them in his face. He nosed them and passed.

I'm fairly new myself. Not sure of that breed. Good luck though.

Yes. It's more accurate, Last longer, and test for regular ph, high ph, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates. I payed about $35 (us?) don't know where you're at. It's great.

Thanks for your help. I'll post updates on how he likes his tube.

My father in law is old school and has had fish longer than I've known him. He makes fun of me all the time for working so hard for my tank. My LFS has given great advice so far and they say don't add chems unless they are sick and change your water. and if they are, being a water sample...

Thanks. I am very fond of him also. I've been researching the every chance I get. I read that loaches and ele's compete for food. I think that I'm going to try to divide the tank to keep the loaches to one side.

When I started, I had ammonia problems also. My LFS said to do 20% water changes ever other day. Your nitrite levels will spike also. Just keep changing your water. I don't like he idea of adding chems. unless its an emergency. Test your levels daily and change your water a lot. That is...

I'm going to get a tube cave today. I tried to hand feed and he just hides in my bonsai tree. I've been giving everyone bloodworms at the advice of my LFS. It's only been a few days that he's been here but I don't want to kill here. ( I know there's no way to tell sex.) I've noticed him...
