Elephant-nose fish live about 10 years. They like neutral to weakly acidic soft water, dim environments and are active at night, favoring small live foods like nematodes; feed per these habits.
They are large and need a big tank; adults are aggressive, so add rocks, driftwood and plants to block sightlines and reduce fights. Cover the tank to stop them jumping out.
