will elephant noses and black ghost knife fish work in an aquarium??

Question

if they hav places 2 hide and the tanks like 75 gallons

Answer 1

Wow. I am not sure where to start.

Actually, your problems here is what the ghost and elephant nose are going to eat. The tank is not overstocked but all these fish will grow and some will be getting big enough to eat some of the others.

Your tank can only handle 46 inches of adult sized fish. I know many hobbyists are told that 'fish only grow to the size of the tank' but this is a myth. It is a very cruel myth too. Your fish will hurt themselves and each other in their frustration to gain more space. I think your ghost and elephant nose shall not be eating and be staying out during the day.

They both also need to eat at night. The way to do this is by putting their favorite foods in after the lights go out. Use a glass bowl to feed tubifex, bloodworms and shrimp so they don't go into the gravel. I don't believe for a minute that the elephant ever eats flakes. He may nose them in desperation, but he can't live on a few tiny nibbles of a unsuitable food.

Hiding place and some vegetation would help them to stay away from each other.

Answer 2

Yep...put a ghost tube in the tank and you will be fine. Just know that elephant noses get a lot bigger then ghost knife fish.

Answer 3

I'd recommend against. Both are electrical fish, in that they use an electric organ to locate food and basically see arround them. Howerer when in the same aquarium they interfere with each other. I have to say choose one or the other.
