I dunno if anyone agrees with me on this but i kept my elephant nose alone. I thought this was nesesary as they are electric fish. plus san substrate is advised for thier delicate noses

It's a good sign that he wants to explore the tank. I know some of them are so shy it takes ages to lure them out. is he feeding ok? and what have you got him on. very nice fish

He was very shy at the first hour,but then later he was swiming all around. And now he knows that the pipe is safe he stays there sometimes I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Hmmm..now he doesn't want to come out of the pipe at all. He hides there all day long..except when my pleco is going inside the pipe to clean..then the elephantnose just swim fast to hide in another cave i have,and waits till the pleco has cleaned it. Since he is a night person...i think i will try to give him some food at night. I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

They are pretty skittish fish. try turning all your lights off. getting a little torch. and shine in so it lights the tank dimmly. then feed him and see if he eats it. good luck
