Internet Research

I wanted to know more about the elephant nose fish, so I did a Google search on it. One of the reasons for the research is that the place where I purchased the fish - Lang's in Glencoe - told me that the fish will only eat brine shrimp. I just wanted to check if there might be something else that the fish might eat.



Here is what I found: the elephant nose (gnathonemus petersii) lives in environments ranging in pH from 6.0 to 8.0, dH ranges from 5.0 to 19.0, and temperatures from 72° to 82°. This fish is a carnivore and can eat brine shrimp, as well as freeze dried tubifex worms and sinking shrimp pellets.



I'll probably order some sinking shrimp pellets from Drs. Foster Smith to provide the fish with some variety in her meals.
