Advice on which she’ll dweller I’m assuming Multi? And how many? Advice in getting the correct parameters so far I’m planning on using a 3 chamber set up will be using filter floss for mechanical, ceramic biofilter, thinking of purigen for chemical filter. Heater thinking of using crush coral inside the chamber for hardness is that enough to reach the hardness and same with ph since I’m using ro/di. Also let me know if I’m missing anything else.

One way is to remove the shells with the fish inside to a bucket with dechlorinated water and maybe an airstone. Stack a bunch of rocks in the bucket and place a piece of egg crate over the rocks. Lay the shells on top of the eggs crate. Usually the fish will swim out of the shells and into the rocks after a while. Once you remove the rocks all you have are the fish!

I am looking to set up a tank in my office using a 29-gallon rimless (31" L / 13.5" W / 15.75" H) that I got on the cheap. I tested the water from the tap and it was really soft (89.5 GH, 1° KH) with a high pH (8.2-8.4). With the high pH, I thought a shell dweller tank would be best since I can up the hardness using the substrate (I am planning on a mix of cichlid sand mixed with aragonite sand) and not have to try and chase the pH. As for stocking, I am planning on going with Multis. Where I am looking for help is what to put in the tank with the Multis. From watching your videos I was thinking maybe some Brichari or Cyprichromis Leptosoma, but I am not sure I fully understand the species profiles. Since the tank is in my office, I am not focused on breeding these, but it could be cool to have some fry and juveniles in the tank. So, I guess my question is: If this was your tank, what would you do?
@PrimeTimeAquatics3 жыл бұрын
The substrate choice is a good one. Other fish depend on whether or not you want the fish to breed. If you do a multi-only tank would be best. The other two do best in at least a 3ft tank and often fill up a tank quickly too, which can lead to territory issues.

I've been considering shellies. I really want at least one cichlid in my new 25 gallon (I miss my convicts), but I also want a community tank. So it's hard making a decision. Plus I want kuhli loaches. The height is 24 inches, so there's lots of water column space, and the length is about 21 inches. Do you think a couple less-aggressive shellies would be okay with kuhli loaches and community fish (haven't decided what exactly... Might go back to basics with plays and mollies... I'd love to get danios again though... 🤷🏻♀️). I have 7.8 pH and 300ppm hardness. My biggest concern is that I'm trying a planted tank for the first time, so... Like, I remember my convict cichlids liked to re-scape the place, so shellies could be an issue. I don't know.

As far as tanks/setup go, have you ever made tiers shelves in your shelly tanks? I have a 29g standard tank with Gold Ocellatus, which stays very close to the bottom outside of feeding time. I have six of them right now, and one is a total bully; he seems to tolerate 4 of them, including another male but keeps one of the females in the corner top of the tank. She doesn't seem to be able to establish a territory at all. I'm thinking of making some acrylic shelf with a lip to fill with sand and put some shells to give a little more vertical area to the tank. Have you ever seen anything like that? Looking at creating something like this www.etsy.com/listing/894839095/eco-level-aquarium-shelf-system-corner?ref=yr_purchases

The only issue I see is shellies often like to dig a lot - my guess is in a short amount of time most of the sand would wind up on the lower level.

Sérieusement, mélanger des N. Similis avec des guppys et autres Characidés, je ne comprends plus as le concept.
