Shell dweller recommendations

[Kristianmunn156]

I have a 90 gallon tank with crushed Coral sand and I was thinking of starting shell dwellers I know of Multis is there any other species that people recommend plan on breeding them I'm giving extra to my local fish store and maybe a tank mate or two to go with

What are the dimensions of the tank? Multis are amazing— I have loved keeping them in the past and they breed very easily. In terms of tank mates, it will depend a little on the proportions of your tank.

48" by 18" by 24"  or 4' by 1.5' by 2' standard 90 gallon haven't scaped it yet

The multifasciatus would be great but there will be a massive amount of unused tank above them. 

To take advantage of the height you could do something like a huge slate/rock hardscape and caudopunctatus

I've always wanted to do a 90 with a lot of taller rock work with brichardi and multifasciatus

Sounds like a cool idea

Sumbu shell dwellers are really neat too. But there's  a ton of different shellies out there. You gotta look around and see what colors and shapes you like. Sadly they usually  don't play well when mixing species in the same tank. So pick one species of shellies, then pick other species that will occupy other parts of the tank. I'd suggest building up a rock wall so then you could keep something like julidichromis or altolamprologus. And then an open top water schooling fish like cyprochromis leptosoma or paracyprichromis nigripinnis.
