Kristianmunn156 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristianmunn156 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 48" by 18" by 24" or 4' by 1.5' by 2' standard 90 gallon haven't scaped it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited December 6, 2020 by s1_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vi1p3nguin Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I've always wanted to do a 90 with a lot of taller rock work with brichardi and multifasciatus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Sounds like a cool idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataku Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
