Ok, so first off this will be the beginning of a long thread I'm sure. I am planning to start a Lake Tang tank and want to stock it with shell dwellers, possible a couple tank mates, not sure on that part as of now.
I have a 30g tank that I originally started for a sump. I have changed my mind on the sump and really am liking the thought of turning it into shellie tank. So first questions...
1) How many can I plan to stock?
2) Can I add more then one type?
3) What substrate do they like best?
4) Tank mate suggestions?
The ones I will be deciding between are...
"Lamprologus"- Brivis, Calliurus, Similis and Stappersii.
"Telmatochromis"- Bifrenatus, Brichardi and Vittatus.
These are my favorites, I know I can't have a group of all the different types so first of all are there any of these that would be bad to keep together?
