I'm assuming you mean Elephantnose? If so, please be advised that they are not very easily kept (or readily available) in aquaria. They are difficult to keep and require fairly large tanks due to the fact that they are actually a very intricately social animal requiring as large a group as possible. Add to that that not much is really known about them, they will very rarely take to any prepared food, and that they have not been bred in captivity and I'd really suggest avoiding them. JMO.

elephants are awesome. about the same basic care as a ghost. they are a bit more passive and timid tho. I did see them somewhere online for sale, i will try to locate the link. for now, you can try liveaquaria.com and see if they have any in stock.

elephant knife fish need a very large tank, like BGK's need. at least 150 gallons, and even that is tight.
