should start a new thread on this so...

Okay question... I am not sure if this will work. I have a 150 tall. In it I have a front, some peacocks, a hap or two, boryi, and added two bichardi... what does everyone think about adding a few shell dwellers... I have half the tank setup with sand. mocking the type of end of reef area that they are use to with rock and pants moving into sand on the other... Do you believe it will work? I have a good place to get them on good deals... since I work at a great LFS part time... gotta love the discount... so please give me your thoughts and I will consider all prior to my final decision I will add. forgive any misspelling...

also... besides flakes, pellets, and peas, what are some good things to treat my africans too? veg and meat... I have a mbuna tank as well

my africans love beefheart, ghostshrimp, krill, baby shrimp, u name is they love it. except sinking pellets. they dont like them.

It will not be a problem. Just as long as you have shells for them to dive into for shelter.

If the brichardi are a m/f pair, you will soon have about a billion brichardi in your tank. They breed like gerbils, take care of their own, and are impossible to catch without ripping the entire tank apart.

I count on the barchardi breeding. My LFS needs some for resale... well thats the plan... I will invest in some more and and expand that area and then get some more shells. Any ideas on food of the more veg varity to give them...
