shellies

[lateraldisposition]

I've got a fifteen gal layin round and got a itch to fill with shellies how many would be a good number

 

[tankmates]

I started with 6 Lamprologus multifasciatus fry in a 10 gal. I now have about 20. After they get acclimated, they start to multiply. Make sure that you give them plenty of shells.

Good luck!

Totally depends on which species you're interested in keeping...

agreed some shellies get bigger then others, which type were you thinking about?

 

[junglej]

Definately depends on the species. I keep 4 gold occies in a 10g, I started with a pair of multies in a 10 and in about three months had about 20 when i moved them into a 29.

I'd start with just a few multies and let them grow the colony

well I like the brevis what could I mix with them and numbers

 

[mahemaheman85]

i have a 20 long with 5 orange belly brevis, and 7 or 8 ocellatus pearl, i think around 20 shells and i havent had a single problem, brevis are a good choice

Brevis are SWEET!!! I have two pairs in a 10g and the only aggressin i ever see is limited (every now and then i see some lip locking) and only between my two males.

I would agree on the brevis I keep them with gold occies and they do just fine in my tank. Shellies do need bottom space so maybe a few brevis witha few occies..
