Around the fish room

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Love the pictures of all the fish poking out of the shells! Do they normally go there to rest, or were they feeling threatened somehow?

They are Tanganyikian shell dwellers. Both they use them for protection, breeding, living. These are out quite a bit more then some of the other types I've seen. I didn't know much about these guys when I got them someone told me they had ocellatus available for me to purchase and when I got there they were regular brevis. I left and went to a lfs near where he lived and found these. I like them more then the brevis, multis, and similus everyone around here seems to get. Still unsure if these are actually what they were sold as meeli or another type that looks similar like boulengeri.
 
Do you have any plans for the 2 empty tanks?
Yes. The plan which has changed a few times over the last 6 months is currently back to the original. 180 is becoming the Tanganyikian tank, the 90ish cubeish has and this hasn't changed will be for my schoutedni and petricolas. I am mostly back to full strength now so doing stuff like moving those tanks and redoing the backgrounds and tearing the old backgrounds off is possible. In fact as you see the backgrounds are no longer on the tanks in question. I've got most of the supplies and ideas for the new backgrounds just needed some space, which since I was able to move heavy stuff again you can see I have now. That whole room was full of stuff 3 hours prior to that pic.
 
wow, sounds awesome GL, I would love to get an upgrade but my parents said 75 is the highest and unless I get rid of my other 6 I can't get another 75
