About how many ocellatus could I keep in my 58-gallon shell dweller tank (http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2638042&uid=1382184)? You can go to http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2638042&uid=1382184 to see some pics of the tank. Thanks.

may i ask why that is called a shell dweller tank, looks like a rock dweller tank to me.

you could have a really big colony of occies in a 58 if they were alone, or tankmates were carefully selected. my friend has a colony of like 15 in a 20-25 gallon with alot of surface area. they are breeding like rabbits. im putting a colony of 6 in my 129 mixed lake display tank, and maybe a colony of pearly occies too.
