All four dwarves are growing. The largest is pushing 2.5in and hangs out on the right side of the tank in the rocks. These two have taken over shells on the left side. The one in reflection claims the ribbed shell towards the back.

I believe these shells are Cipangopaludina chinensis (Chinese mystery snails) that I collected from a local lake.

Any showing interest in the new shells? The new ones are very close looking to the real ones from Africa.

I was able to get in on a group by from Sand City Cichlids. I received 5 F1 Sumbu that according to their website are out of the Czech Republic. Currently in quarantine in a 10g and perked right up when I dropped some in some food.

I checked the fish room last night and only counted 4 Sumbu and went into full floor checking panic. I didn't find a body but I had a better lid so I put it on just in case.
I counted 5 this morning. These 2 dart into shells immediately. The other 3 hang around the bleached coral piece.

Moved all the multies out, all the Sumbu in and rescaped the tank. Unfortunately, lost my largest Sumbu while they were chilling in the holding tank. Not sure if he got ganged up on or what, just found him dead.
