I live in Sacramento. I have a Mormyrops Kannume or an elephant nose fish or a Dolphin Freshwater fish. Does anyone know what fish you can put in with the Dolphin Fish? I have owned one Dolphin for 1 1/2 years. He has gone from 2 inches to 6 inches. I had a tetra in there for a few months. But he died. Is there a fish he wont kill by eating or electricity?
