The Story
Elephant Nose Fish
The elephant nose evolved to locate prey through a low voltage electric field. This takes a Lot of brain power so in one aspect these fish have a higher brain mass to body weight than humans or dolphins. There has never been a report that anyone has successfully applied for their assistance with homework. However, most agree that they are a fascinating feature in the tank. They do need live and/or frozen foods, not known as flake or pellet eaters. We feed frozen blood worms to our elephants.
