    I have presents for some of you....

    I'd like to find some good homes for my larger Brevis fry. I have maybe 15 or so that can be moved now, and more growing up quickly. If you would like to have a trio, please send me a pm or call me if you have my number.

    I must insist, that you have a "friendly" environment for these guys to grow up in, but later when they reach maturity, they can take care of them selves pretty good and can be moved into a semi aggressive tank, no huge meat eaters though please.

    Those of you who can provide them a good home will take them home for free.... :)  

    Fishlady, you have first dibbs of course.

    Fishboyt, you might enjoy raising a trio, if you have the room?  Let me know.


    Thanks

    I would like a trio but what kind of environment do these little guys like?  These are the Neolamprologus Brevis right....Shellies???  I have an extra 10 gallon that they can have all to themselves until they can make it in a Tang. community tank.

    Let me know.

          Hanson, you're good to go, you need only to arrange pick up...

          Reba, you're good to go as well...same thing....

          Delock....they would probably mix, if they where mature, but at this stage, it's 50/50 whether or not they would make it....If you like, I can hold on to them for a while longer and grow them out a little more for you....not a problem....They really would appreciate a sandy substrate as well.

          PS....yes, they are shellies, and love the cover of their shells. My adults spend quite a bit of time in or around their shell.

            Delock you would have to feed your boys and then make sure there is a ton of shells for them to do into everywhere in your tank.. then release them already at depth...  then you should not have much of a problem.  Once they have a shell to call home they are quick and difficult for other fish to get to them.

              Where is everyone getting good shells for these guys?  Is there a good website to order from or have you found them locally somewhere for a decent price.  I was just going to use lace rock and go and pick up some holey rock from Aquazoo for the short term.  They will be in the tank by themselves so no fears of predators of any type, I just want them to be as comfortable as possible.

              Let me know.

              Steve, my tank is cycling as we speak so I should be ready for a pick up in a few days.

                  Take your time getting set up for them. No big deal if it's the weekend or tomorrow...or whenever.

                    Specs sells escargot shells that work.

                      I ordered from cichlid-breeding.com about 60 shells for about $35.00 shipped to my door.
                      I have used about 20 of them.  When I get a bigger tank I am going to use more of them, so I am not offering any up, but what I am saying is they are a great website to get shells that work perfect for your endeavors.

                        I ordered 50 today.  25 of the larger turbos and 25 of another kind that were pretty good size.  Hopefully they will get her quickly.  I seached for Neothaumas but EK informed me that he bought everything local and on the web....LOL.

                          CF i'd like some if you okay me. I have a small tank sitting at home and I happened to order few dozens of whale eye & escargot shells from cichlid-breeding for my multis last week, they're on delivery now. I can spare a handful for them

                              Honkz, there's plenty enough for you too....

                              As far as the shells go, Loretta and I found a nice varity at HOBBY LOBBY in a ART DECO basket. The baskets sold for about 10.00 and you get about 50 to 60 shells in them, now granted, some shells are not very good ones, but you will find maybe a dozen or more really nice ones for that price.
