4' 75 Gallon:
3 A. calvus ( 2m, 1f )
1 4" N. tretocephalus ( f )
1 6" N sexfasciatus ( ? )
1 4" N. cylindricus ( ? )
1 juvie S. petricola
2 BN plecos
6 Giant Danios

I've had this tank for 1 year, and most of the fish for at least 2-3 years. I have tried to add shellies in the past with no luck. I had a marauding Brichardi that I allowed to stay after I siphoned out his parents and siblings ( never trust a Brichardi, even if it's a runt! ). I suspect he killed my occies, multis, and brevis along with a J. transcriptus. I would love to keep a colony but I don't want to keep wasting my time.
I'd like to add 1 more pertricola, 1 J. transcriptus and eventually phase the danios out for C. leptosoma. The yellow/ brown/ mustard male calvus I have needs to be replaced with a female, although the two males haven't done too much damage while breeding. Any thoughts? Ideas? Species I haven't thought about?
 
Neolamprologus Mustax is a mild mannered Tang also pops the yellow colors also if you want a shellie that's tough you can try the larger size Hecqui they are more robust in size but you will have to find close to adult size..
