dolphin mormyrus available at c328. I think it grows quite large though, i think 1ft plus so might need a big tank

Rather than deceiving him, tell him dolphins are not happy staying in a tank, they need huge space to swim in the wild to be happy. Ask him watch movie 'free willy'

Try to do a yahoo search for Elephant nose fish. This will have a long nose, same the dolphine and easily available in LFS.

You can always bring him to Sentosa to touch the pink dolphin or the new aquarium there. Not sure if the dolphins are in already.

Hope the above helps.
