I think I'll take your advice and stick to one species of shellie, now I just need to decide which one to go with. I'll do some more research on the different ...

I think I need to try a different approach here. How about I offer some virtual cookies and a cup of coffee to the first person who can help me out with my shell dweller tank questions

I'd love to get some thoughts on my tank setup and stocking.

I'm really looking forward to setting up my new shell dweller tank, my first foray into African Cichlids. I've done some research, but I still have a few questions and I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
