Elephant Nose 3”-4”

This product is currently out of stock

The Elephant Nose is an intriguing fish that starts from the Niger River and its tributaries in Western Africa. Its body is for the most part dark and is sporadically formed with a long tight tail and what seems to be its nose anyway this is really an augmentation of the fish’s mouth. The Elephant nose utilizes its trunk-like augmentation to search for sustenance, convey, travel through the water and self protection. It has a frail electrical organ at the caudal peduncles which is utilized to find nourishment.

Breeding: They reproduce in the tank, with babies being miniature versions of the adults and requiring specific care to avoid being eaten by other fish or sucked into filters.
