? The appearance of the elephant nose fish is very lovely. Their proboscis front end is a typical feature of this fish. In their native habitat, they usually live at the bottom of the water. Their front ends are rich in nerve endings, which can detect food in the water keenly. They not only have a strong ability to find food, but also have a very keen defensive response.
They can produce a very weak current on their tail, which is a way for them to protect themselves. This kind of fish is also not picky in food, and can be fed with some soft active bait. Choosing live baits such as nematodes and tubificidae to feed them at home can meet their daily needs. This kind of fish is very simple and not very difficult to raise.
