My new Gnathonemus petersii (Elephant nose)

Got this guy today as I have been wanting one for awhile. I was nervous due to their need for perfect water conditions, but seeing how I have my filtration WAY upgraded from what I had, I went ahead with it. Without further ado, Dumbo! (My Wifes idea) lol

And here are a couple more pics of some others, so I dont have to start a new thread for each.

First is my African Butterfly (Pantodon buchholzi) and some updated pics of my African Long-tailed Spiny Eel (Mastacembelus frenatus).

Looks like your African tank is going good! I like looking at those guys but never really wanted to keep them

Thanks Mista! Yeah its going pretty good, but the water has been cloudy all day today after I did my water change. I built a new water changing set up and needless to say, the submersible pump I bought is just a little to strong. lol Blew sand everywhere. Starting to clear up though.

too cool, i had an oddities tank with these three fish in it along with a ghost knife and bumblebee gobies. they were neat to have

Dude, you have the quintessential African biotope tank. Haven't seen any other tanks on here with such variety.

Thanks Mogan! I originally wanted to do a tank just from one lake, but there were just to many fish I like from different areas. I just went ahead and decided on Africa period. I had to stay somewhat true to the area.
