Myths about the Elephant Nose

I dont know? What I do know is that they dont breed them. Which means that they catch them in the wild. I never seen one in the store, as well as the Albino elephant nose. So the odds must be REALLY hard to find one. And if it is caught...well, Im sure they cost Lots of $$$? Anyone else know?

Regarding the aggression..We have these at uni and use them to look at electroreception. If you put two adult males in the same tank they will start to emit electric waves like mad.this is the build up to the fight. In the wild(or a large tank) the weaker males will then retreat but if not given enough room it will not be able to retreat and the stronger male will often kill it. This is not hearsay, it's fact. This could be why people have said that they're aggressive.
 
If you eat elephant noses, Wont you go to H*LL? I mean, they are a god according to the egyptians.
Some poeple tend to also think if you put more then 5 in a tank then the aggression is spread out between them, then its ok (alot of hiding spaces is needed). They are aggressive to themselves and to any other ELECTRIC fish. They tend to ignore most of the other fish (once in a while, they will play).
 
In the previous thread, we debated and came to an understanding that this fish is a SACRED symbol of the Gods. They werent worshipped themselves. They were just the SYMBOL for their God.
 
OK..its over...no more... :) I had to say something because throughout this thread I mentioned they were worshipped, while in fact, They were just Sacred.
