Hi this is my first post on this forum. I have been researching shell dwellers for a while now and most of the best information I found was on this forum. Thanks to many forum members for sharing their knowledge with others.
As the title suggests this is another starting shell dwellers post.I have decided on a N. multifasciatus species tank.
This species is appealing for its colony behavior more than anything. They also happen to be readily available.
I have the option to set up any size tank I want for them and the space to accommodate up to a 48" aquarium.
I like the looks of the long low tanks such a the 20 long and 30 breeder.
What size would be ideal in your opinion? I would like to start with about a dozen multies and not have to upgrade the aquarium when the colony begins to grow. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I would also like to say thanks for all of the information regarding: shellie species,water conditions, lighting, shells, substrate, aquascape, plants, feeding etc that has been shared by forum members in other threads.
