Hey byron Thanks for the info i know these infos from before just wanted to know members forum suggestions
i am not lazy to know but i only need suggestions

the tank is ready , i know that i am only can have one of these enf
but is there problem if i keep one in tank ? doesn't he feel alone to kept one species fish

only one thing the type of mate room / freind room fish is not avaible here . haven't found any of them

can i add some gouramis fish or Neon Tetra , silver shark ? , fire eel ?

I've not kept one, but from my research I gather they are not predators and manage in community tanks with peaceful fish. I don't know if any other members have experience, it is not a commonly-kept fish.

I would only keep it at one elephant nose in the tank, and your tank should be fine if its 80cm long

A tank that is that long (2 2/3 feet) will generally be 30-40g tops in which case I would not recommend keeping an elephant nose [9" fish in that tank] especially because they can be hard to care for and are picky + they prefer groups.
