Multie Tank

[aj2494]

I've had my five multies in their 10 for a while, and I dumped a ton of extra shells in the tank yesterday. I was contemplating the meaning of the words "shell pile", and thought of just taking all the shells and dumping them in a few very large piles. Anybody have any critique?

Wouldn't really matter, they'll rearrange it for you

 

[jpappy789]

Agreed!

 

[StripesAndFins]

yep i think they'll do that too

Not big enough yet to move the shells though. At least they haven't moved them yet.

More the better just be careful because uneaten food and debris and some poop will end up in the empty shells and will crash a small tank..

I recommend a once a month taking shell and turning upside down while still submerged to release poop and debris to avoid ammonia crash its what i do as well because i so believe in extra shells aye..

I got all these shells because I am hoping to build a colony, and needed extra for fry. And when I say I got a ton, I mean it. There are 49 snail shells and 24 clam-types that I will make caves out of.

Cool just keep an eye on the ammonia aye.. you should be fine..

I don't have a test hit, and never have. I use my parents' pool sticks every once in a while (FREE). Other than that, I just keep my tanks clean and with fresh water.

Good deal..
