Hey guys have a 50L litre tank sitting here and was wondering what a good shell dweller would be to breed in there obviously if the tanks big enough? 

 

Any info would be great

 

Cheers, Ethan

If you want brevis, just get your LFS to order them from Aquarium Industries

Multis are awesome but very easy, Lamprologus occelatus have much more personality and are a bit more of a challenge. Highly recommend them. All of the sub species are cool but if you can get hold of some nice golds they are a very pretty little fish.

Yeh they are quite nice, have you seen any around for sale lately?

Last ones I saw were at aquotix but you may be able to find some privately or ask them to source you some.

Have you seen Lamprologus Caudopunctatus Kapampa?
They are very cute and actually not too easy to breed ad N. multifasciatus or N. similis!

They are also a bit more aggressive than the other two, so after that the couple is formed you should remove the rest or they will get killed

Yeh was looking at the N.Similis I actually really like them. Wouldn't mind getting a pair of them to breed

Hey should I set the tank up guys?

[Westie]

Yeah do it. Good motivation to get the fish once you see a tank set up with no fish

[fishNchups]

Woops was suppose to be how* not hey aha

How should I set the tank up was suppose to be the question... My bad

[extend]

I would say get 4 or so shells and a few rocks. Some fine sand as well so the fish can hide the shell with only the entrance showing. Be creative and make it look natural

[fishNchups]

Where can I get shells from?

[malawiman85]

Ebay

Just empty the bag of shells into a bucket of boiling water from the kettle to remove any crud
