Earlier this evening one of my gobi dragons accidently killed my elephantnose. He didn't do it on purpose, he was flicking the substrate with his tail, trying to hide under a stone when the elephantnose got in his way and got hit. I never realised the dragons where so strong - the poor elephantnose was whacked into the glass and must have broken his back. He was completely bent in half and I had to euthanize him He was doing so well - growing nicely and getting quite big - I'm so sad
These thing come and go, and the older the fish the more painful the feeling of the fish dying. Not many people have elephant nose fish here, I feel sorry for you in that point. Maybe another elephant nose will cheer it up.
