n. multifasciatus tankmates for 55 gal.

[pcahill]

i have a 55 gal. with 8 n. multifasciatus. i had a pair of H. lifalili with them until the jewels bred and took over the tank. i have since taken them out and am only left with the multies. any suggestions on what would work with the multies would be appriciated. i was think about German blue rams.

Think other tangs, julies, calvus, anything in the shellies area

Ditto w/Mike... other Tangs, def. some shellies. Indy is charging hard these days.

I love my shellie tank, I have multies with 4 Altolamprologus sp. "Compressiceps Shell" 4 Lamprologus caudopunctatus and 1 ink fin comp... plus some lil albino bristle nose plecos... I love this tank even if they are not all shellies... I would say some texas holey rock tons of shells and check out the shellie list

look for smaller ones...

Maybe some of the smaller cpys or paracyps?

thanks for the suggestions. i just picked up 6 Julidochromis Transcriptusat an auction this weekend. they are pretty wild to watch them swim around in the rock pile. now i just need some colorful open water swimmers. i was thinking about dafodils but they are pretty common, any other ideas?

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

i'd go with some caudopunks or julie of your choice, multies are great fish though

yeah, it was the CCAC auction. are you a member? i know they have a public auction in the spring and fall, but do they have others swaps/ auctions for members more often?
