Is it possible to keep Elephone Nose finish in the same tank as discus.
Are the water perameters the same.
Is the temp the same.

I keep an Elephant Nose with my Discus and they are fine together. I would suggest though you either have one EN or four or more. For some reason 2-3 doesn't work and they isolate one until it stops eating. With a school it seems to stop this domination. Also remember to feed once your light is off and before it comes on. I found feeding with lights they nibble but are more nocturnal and tend to lose weight if only fed when the lights are on.

I have one elephant nose with five discus. He's great and adds some life to the tank. I'm really glad I got him (or her for that matter). I think they're great and people get a buzz from from looking at his 'nose', especially when I tell them it's part of his chin.

Awesome fish. Get one.

I have always been interested in them :)

Another intresting fellow that has my attention at the moment is the fire eel.
