I have thought to buy one gnathonemus petersii into my 450 liters tank. Im not sure what corydoras think about it
This is my knowledge of the fish:
Size: 35cm (13")
pH: 6-7.5
temperature: 22-28 celsius
hardness: soft-middle hard
sex: no difference
Need darker aquarium, harmless to other, doesn't tolerate member of own species (keep in lonely or in great school in huge aquarium), really shy fish and mostly swimming at nights. Swimming on the bottom between rocks/wood/plants etc..
Eat using its "trunk" like digging sand and finding worms and other living food. Thats why there should be sand bottom. Its sense of sight is poor and you have to remember it when feeding fish that other don't eat all food.
It produces electricial-impulses to find food and swim. Thus i have heard that corydoras don' like g. pettersii, because they are disturbed by those impulses. Well, i haven't red any serious articles about this. Have you?
And if you have any other information about g. petersii, please tell it
