Man that guy's excitement for shellies is infectious! Really makes me want to keep some one day. Great video Jimmy!

[@Somethingfishyinc]

😊

[@AndrewFishman]

Ocean Truth - I hope you took up on them at some point :) They are the best.

[@msresearchspeaks]

Mark sent me a shirt from that place. Now i need to visit in person. You cant help but love those fish.

[@FoxyFoxyShazam]

What a treat as a fish nerd to see actual materials from that biotope! Thanks so much for sharing it. Def. going to subscribe to his channel.

[@michealfaulkner5612]

Man I wish we had a fish store like this near me! Nothing even close within a 100 plus mile radius of me. Been dying for some Shellys in my 40 long bedroom tank. Great video as always bud! 🤙🏾

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Thank you.

[@jordahnmohammed4259]

Micheal Faulkner I feel that bro I have to order all my Lake Tanganyika Cichlids online super expensive

[@dwightstjohn6927]

I was recently in Los Angeles back in the old hood and there used to be huge numbers of fish stores, and they're GONE. We have more fish stores in Vancouver, BC than the entire LA area. Our club has several thousand members, and while it's mainly white and asian guys, I'm still scratching my head that LA is so slow now.

[@NiX_aKi]

Naughty naughty Dave. Hahaha Love this kind of vlog. I'd love to see more passionate hobbyists like Dave.

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Thank you

[@LostLeftyLimb]

NiX aKi he’s amazing. Something fishy is my LFS. So lucky to be right down the street from them.

[@LostLeftyLimb]

Holy crap! How weird! I just discovered your channel and the second video clicked was this one. Something fishy is my LFS! Live right down the street from them. So lucky to have them so close by.

[@HCAqua]

That's it! I'm working on that fan tail ocellatus! Dave's a great guy. I had fun touring his store when I was there.

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Lol Thanks

[@jjcabin]

Great video! Dave Hale is an amazing person who’s done a lot for the hobby. That’s awesome that you are keeping Tanganyikans. Dave is 100% correct “You’re Hooked”. Multies are the gateway Shellie. I they were my first Shellies too, now I have about 9 different variants of them. Enjoy!!!

[@oobs35]

Timely video i got some multis today here in Australia

[@kerrypitt9789]

Hope the fires are avoiding you. Have they made any headway on them?

[@oobs35]

@@kerrypitt9789 here where I am they have. Some much needed rain. Other places are still burning will be weeks before all done I am led to believe

[@ABonline2011]

LOVE the Shellie’s !!!...... super stoked to see how they go. Well done mate.👍🏻👍🏻

[@adamstone8982]

Yes finally a video from Jimmy on shellies. Just got some Brichardi's today andhoping to breed them. I already have Similis and bred them!

[@darrylmoore5847]

Cichlids are not my thing, but if I lived near that store that would probably change. His passion is incredible.

[@TylerOstergaard]

i'm glad you got the similis i love mine so fun to watch and i have about 30 babys with one pair in about 4-6 months :D

[@shanes.5392]

Great video! Dave’s store is where I get my cichlids as well. Love the place. Didn’t know he has a KZbin channel. Will definitely subscribe. Thanks 🙏

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Great T shirt dude!

[@yfrjytjj6jytjdtnfyjytjdytj945]

Shell dwellers think they are massive fish but they are tiny I still love em I even have some and planning to get more

Great video! Something Fishy is the best. Great store and great owner!

[@fishdreamz348]

My first aquarium was a Lake Tanganyikan one. I miss it! Always dreamed of diving there. Love the video!

[@markhunter2244]

Brilliant interview, amazing store, stunning fish. Definitely have to get some of this video footage on KZbin 🤓

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Thanks sir. Working on getting my many fish trips on you tube with help of Jimmy.

[@markhunter2244]

Excellent, looking forward to seeing them.

[@seanootd3406]

Oh this is incredible sounds like me talking about shell dwellers truly incredible video Ill have to show him my 280g once its setup in a few months just for shell dwellers I want the shells so bad

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Tangs are my favourite fish to keep, shellies are the only ones I want to try out still

[@troyvisserhbhs4069]

The natural shells look like giant Malaysian Trumpet snails. For the price and size you really can't beat the Amazon Escargot shells. They do look really nice in a tank.

[@ContrastNY]

I love this video. I'm planning to get shell dwellers, not sure which ones yet.

[@CrazyAquariumGuy]

I Love the passion he has for the African cichlids. 😇😇😇👊

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Thanks

[@seymourfishtanks1201]

Another great video. Keep it up Sashimi Whiskey!

[@JasonsCichlids]

Great video! I love shell dwellers and agree 100% with Dave at 8:26

[@ironwolph]

Amazing video man!

[@DaniKenAquatics]

GREAT Video I keep Signatus love them we also have a small group Similas

[@tv4184]

I got into Tanganyika cichlids when I came back to the hobby in 2017. Now I have a frontosa 210g and a cypochromis 40b colony 😂. I debated on doing a 20L shellie tank....

[@Somethingfishyinc]

❤

[@Brantov]

Very nice video. Beautiful cichlids. I wish you good luck, my friend.

[@Somethingfishyinc]

❤👍🏻

[@zafishguy5166]

I am working on more tanks but first I am going to need more support on youtube to pull off the big fishroom idea that I have.

[@Somethingfishyinc]

Great stuff. Thanks Jimmy

[@seanootd3406]

Coming from someone who mainly keeps shell dwellers this is incredible love seeing another so passionate about them ill have to send you photos in few months im setting up a 280g for shell dwellers im also building a fish shed to be able to keep more shellies super jealous of the shells btw

[@Somethingfishyinc]

@@seanootd3406 thanks Sean.. look forward to seeing the pics. 👍🏻

[@naturehobby8491]

Great video! Love the quality! I’m starting a fish channel soon, and would like a suggestion on a good camera for beginners if you don’t mind suggesting something. $500 or less budget. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@sharkbit61]

I keep 10 Multis in my 260 gallon community tank. They have taken over one end of the tank and defend their territory against some pretty aggressive fish. I haven't seen breeding yet but I am sure it is only a matter of time.

[@Northwestscapes]

Hey Jimmy, you're getting into the Africans, let's go! I've got a 55g Lake Tanganyika Biotope too! It's got 40 Multifasciatus that started from a group of 6, and tankmates are 3 Lake Tanganyika Killifish (look them, they're so cool and so rare so if you see them, snatch them up) but they're starting to get blue and yellow so I'm really excited. I dont run Crushed Coral (although I probably should because Washington Water is so soft) but they've been thriving. Another Great Video! And since you're using the 108, I'm guessing the goldfish got traded or died :(

[@zafishguy5166]

Except for the killies if the multifsciatus are breeding then your good with softer water apparently

[@shesellsfish]

Multies ard on my bucket list for sure. 👍💕👍

[@Dylamos]

I love multies, similis are amazing but they're so much more aggro. Might just do both tanks.

[@dungtrinh3669]

Beautiful fish. Well kept & healthy👍👏🙌

[@ArnoldQMudskipper]

Multies definitely on my MTS list

[@CJBlack265]

Loved this video💕👍

[@markvonwisco7369]

So, I'll soon be getting a used 55 gallon tank from one of my brothers. I was thinking about doing a South American biotope with apistos, tetras, etc. Now I'm thinking I should maybe to do a Lake Tanganyika tank instead. My tap water is at about 7.8 pH and 240-300 TDS. It wouldn't take much to get my water to 8.0 pH. Probably a lot easier than going the other direction. Please do an update with your tank, once it's all set up!

[@Ecotasia]

Love shellies, Would like to get my sumbu dwarfs fry to survive, they have bred for me but so so hard to get them past the first stage. Tanganyika is one of those dive trips I would like to do

[@henryking1919]

Very leet editing Jimmy!

[@kerrypitt9789]

Multis are next once I get the silicone layed in.

[@twincitiesguppies]

LOL looks so fun there!

[@uncle4318]

"He's hoarding his footage." "it'll come" hhahaha

[@karimmari1555]

I wish these types of fish were available in my country

[@vb2377]

Posty in the house

[@TMAquatics]

Real neothauma shells. Want!!!

[@zafishguy5166]

I am working on a bigger fishroom partly for these guys I may need more channel support first however and I have to work on my reef tank more first.

[@Scotty2Dope216]

My LFS!

[@JasPlun]

My Gold Calvus breed in shells all the time. I got a pair that breed like convicts I got Gold Calvus in all of my tanks and even gave some away because I have so many LOL.

[@brianwirtz4181]

Dave is the best.

[@TheLaughingDove]

So, that small shell with the neat hole reminds me of similar holes in seashells made by various other mollusk predators... Are there freshwater snails drilling in shells as well?

[@piet4100]

can i keep a species of Shell dwellers with red shrimp? and are there shelle dwellers that i can keep in a 15 gallon? i always like your video's Jimmy and i am from Holland btw

[@BigStevesGlassBoxes]

Last time I saw a powdery substance on a piece of paper like that, it definitely wasn't sand! At this point, I'd rather have authentic tanganyikan sand, more than other stuff! ❄️❄️❄️lmao!

[@arthurg1408]

Great video I'm new to your channel .

[@lindseysinclair9862]

The real question is, how do you catch the little suckers when you need to thin the colony? My multis dash into their shells so fast, when I had to remove 2 extra males that were raising heck the shells they were in had to go too. Those shells are probably still in the pet store's tank!

[@jimmygimbal]

Check TM Aquatics he has a video on that @tmaquatics

[@beansproutnow]

Cool video! I'm collecting thoughts! Community cichlid, 30 gallons, quite a tall tank? A shell dweller group and....something?

[@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985]

Really! You have never kept tanginka and you are friends with zenzo tazawa and jason from prime time aquatics! 2 of the biggist african cichlid lovers on earth!!! Ive never kept tanginikans but im really wanting to do one!

GREAT VIDEO I want to keep these in a 20 long. 2 questions Aquaclear 30, Coarse sponge filter or dual sponge filter? What do you think about using black sand? I thought it would look very cool instead of the normal sand. But I haven't seen anyone using it. Peace ✌️

Half oz. Halawi sand in a baggy. Wtf is this lol...

[@salvrav11atgmaildotcom52]

In Sydney Australia it was a effort to find the Neolamprologus similis, but finally got my hands on them and love them. my colony has now bred several times so I will be looking to spread these little gems out for others to enjoy as much as i do. Anyone interested Details are in my name Great Video thanks
