Well I've got everything but fish in my 20g shellie tank. I originally had just the shells in there, but I added a small slate pile in case I consider a Calvus or a pair of Julies later. So tell me what you think of the 'scape.

Thanks all! Austin, do you think they would undermine the rocks, or just rearrange the shells? I certainly don't want an avalanche in there! I'll add more pics once it's stocked. Maybe a vid of the remodeling when the new tennants move in!

depends on the species i suppose. my multies dont move the shells because they cant, but they do dig until they hit bottom. mine have taken refuge in rocks, but have never really dug out a rock. they will dig out a shell big time though.

what species do you plan on getting?

I plan on getting the Multies as well. I have a guy local selling a group(1m/3f). So I did a little research and tried the lightest, most recommended shells I could. I didn't get the Neothauma shells that occur in the lake due to price, $3 each! What do you think about a Calvus or dwarf Julies later on?
