Setting up a Neolamprologus Multifasciatus tank...

Yes, he sounds like your dominant male. He'll probably start bullying females to stay close to their shells, and the other males to stay away from him.

Females tend to stay closer to home, and do more exploring down below the surface of the shellbed, IME.
 
I'm wondering... should I spread the shells out rather than having them in a pile in the corner of the tank? Would the fish prefer to have them spread across the entire bottom of the tank? I guess I'm confused by this.
 
Well I've read that too. However, mine are just little guys. The haven't even got a dent dug in the sand yet even though they've been at it for a week now because their so small. LoL. I think it's still going to be a while before then will be able to move the shells where they want them by themselves.
 
I've been going to take an updated picture since I ended up replacing the plants that I had put in there originally--I think the 3 minute bleach deep was just a bit excessive. However, I have a brown diatom algae issue that I've been letting go. Who wants brown algae in their pictures, right? Bleh! I was going to clean it but I won 10 bristlenose plecos and figured I'd stick one in the tank and let him have it. However, I got my plecos in the mail yesterday and they're too small to go in my other tanks, so I put them all in my red cherry shrimp & brig tank so they wouldn't be a treat for the fish. I think I will put a few in the multi tank once I get it rearranged if it needs to be. Keep in mind that this will only be temporary until the plecos are about an inch to an inch and a half and can be moved in with my bigger fish. I know I can't keep 3 plecos in a 10 gallon tank. I'm waiting to get some opinions before I move the plecos.
