I got my new shell dwellers today! Lamprologus ocellatus 'gold'.
I stopped by the LFS on my lunch today, just to see what's new in the tanks mostly. I was checking out the little ocellatus group and feeling bad for them.
The tank they were in had quite a few fish, all small, but lots of them and all cichlids too. It was obvious they were pretty stressed. My friend who was there with me commented that they would probably be happier in my tiny 10 than where they were now. I decided I agreed with him.
I took the 2 yellows that have been in the QT back to the LFS, and took the set of 6. The LFS owner even gave me 15% off since I was taking the group. Well, that and a little haggling
I Put some sand and shells in the QT, and they seem happier already. They are all still really little, under 1" so I am hoping aggression issues will hold off until I can get the 30 running Saturday.
I took 1 quick shot of them and it turned out pretty well actually:
Wish me luck!
