Well i am considering some Shell Dwellers for my 13 gal tank. To be honest I do not know much about them however I have begun my research.
This is what I think so far.
*They Need Shells (Alot) lol, as these are used for them to seek cover and breed in. They re-arrange the shells to mark territory.
*Sand substrate as they like to dig.
*Some rock work but not much i.e. texas holy rock etc ....
*High P.H about 8.00 (This will be my biggest challenge lol)
Now this is where I get stuck, I dont know anything about the actual fish.
So how many could I keep in a tank this size?
What is the ratio i.e. male to females for breeding them.
Can you put any thing with them? (to occupy the top area of the tank?)
Also the price of shell dwellers as I have no idea as no lfs's close by sell any ?
If any one has any please post some images ?
Thank you.
