Going shellie in empty 60

[LordBarron7692]

So after some serious thought and more travel that a traveling encyclopedia salesman I have decided to turn my now empty 60 into a shellie tank so as I am new to shellies I would like to know where to start I guess lol mostly just what can I put together with cause any undue grief or stress to the fish and how man can I put into a 60 thanks

Lamprologus Meleagris and some Julidochromis. That is what is in my shellie tank.

[sunkenmetal]

African cichlid sand, escargot shells, and rocks for the Julidochromis. Boom

Shellies live in the shells and the julies chill in the rocks.

Depends on how much floor space you have. I have four adult lamprologus meleagris and three adult julies.

First thing is you want to decide on which shellies you like best. Brevis, Multifasciatus, Meleagris, Oscalatus, Hecqui, Similus, Ornatipinnis,

There's a few more but theres a few ideas. Round you up some shells from specs, and have fun. A few notes on these guys. They are small fish so huge flow rate is not needed. Brine shrimp helps to encourage breeding, and most do just fine on good flake foods. I do breed a few of these lmk what ur interested in?

Can you put more than one type in a tank?
