Fish Care

Question
Hi I have an 70 gallon aquarium I was wondering if it would be ok for an elephant nose we have 5 goldfish,1 minnow, 6 skirt tetras, 3 bleeding heart tetras and 1 pleco we will have an a small cave like decoration soon.

Answer
Hi Patrick,
 Hmm....  the key to keeping a fish like an elephant nose is that it needs a lot of places to hide. They are secretive fish and absolutely must have places to hang out hidden from all other fish.   Your pleco similarly really wants places to hide so you need to add more hiding places regardless of whether you add an elephant nose.
