Thanx. My pulcher was the first fish i oput in the tank. It was great to watch him grow up into his lyre tails and yellow. He can be a little aggressive but my leleupi keep him in check. i love my little shellies, spunky little guys for their size... fun to watch them fight over shells.

Thanx the Comp.s are great, i ended up taking the runts of the batch as they were the last two, but they are both eating great and growing pretty well cinsidering their slow growth rate. Defenetly a cool fish, id reccomend trying to get one.

I'm going to try to get some shots of dominant male pulcher and post them here, he's spectacular. I too have several leleupi, one of which is quite big. They are curious fish but the two (species) never bother one another in my tank.

Id love to see him. my pulchers bigger than my leleupi's so he chasses em a littlwe but nothing too serious.

Very nice! I'm thinking of starting a shelly tank myself, any advice?

tanks look great, beware of conspecific aggression with comps and calvus in tanks under 55 gallons. Only one fish will flourish, the sub dominant one will eventually perish. I've seen this to many times to count between my own tanks and friends tanks, even with 1" specimens.
