Campylomormyrus Tamandua
The most common “double trunk” elephantfish and one of the most colorful. They tend to show a tan or yellowish coloration with chocolate colored swirls or pattern throughout the body. The coloration resembles that of the Sount American tree Anteater, the Tamandua, after which it is named. This species is one of the most aggressive elephantfishes and, in my opinion, the most aggressive of its genus. I have seen them attack mercilessly members of its own species until they get killed. They require spacious tanks and plenty of hiding places if more than one is desired. They can gow up to 12 inches in length or slightly bigger and are quite active at most times of the day. I have never seen them school and they tend to be very protective of larger territories. They seem to tolerate other species a bit more than they do their own but still watch them carefully if you add them to a tank and especially if you add other species to their tank.
Rearranging decorations and doing a water change before adding new fishes might help eliminating or at least disrupting territorial boundaries and thus help in acclimating the new additions with minimal attacks from the Tamandua. Of course this is to be done if possible and not meant for you to basically take down the whole tank just to add 1 new fish.
They also like to “bite” you when they are being hand fed and it feels like a tiny needle prick. I have noticed that Tamanduas are very susceptible to loosing weight quickly if not well fed or if poor quality food is offered so make sure to pay attention at their body size and feed plenty of food but without being too excessive that it spoils the water.

Although this could be good in the long run, right? Trying to stay positive…
Going for the first even year championship!
I can think of only one reason this would be a good thing. Without two of their three designated shooters, the Spurs are going to have to attack the rim more aggressively.

Other than FT % and PFs, the Spurs’ # look pretty good from the first half. The Pacers shooting % is too high, though.
