I have read on this forum that elephant nose is compatible with discus.
Are they very delicate fish and hard too keep?
Can I put them in a bare tank or gravel bottom?
Do they need to be kept in a group?
Do they take dry food and discus food?
I like the look of it but they look so fragile.

Mate i have one of the elephant nose in my tank with my 5 discus.

They do need somewhere to hide during the day.

I found they prefer frozen blood worm or brine shrimp. They are really not a big fan of dry food.

You ay want to keep a shoal, but only one is not a problem.

They do become a bit aggressive on feeding time, so keep numbers down if you have them with your discus.
