I just moved my neons in my 55G tank

Any suggestions for my 10G tank?

I was thinking about something a little original, like some kinda invertebrate tank or dwarf cichlid. Please help me out!

Sounds like the perfect setup for a pair of Neolamprologus brevis, a pair of N. similis, or a trio of N. multifasciatus. Just add some shells and you're shelldweller-ready!

They Have african Cichlids at my Local Pet store but they are not labeled... some look like the ones u suggested but I'm not sure.

Assorted africans are essentially always mixed mbuna with a few peacocks - the chance of finding a shelldweller in there is probably one in a million, and the chance of finding the right species?

But, you probably have better stores around you than you're aware of - many people do. I've been in the hobby six or seven years and I found a shop I'd never been to, with fairly unusual fish, just a few months ago. Check your yellow pages for a start.

If not, buying fish online is much easier than you'd think. Shipping is expensive, but you'll have the fish for ten years and their progeny for much longer; you may even be able to sell offspring and recoup a bit. Try Aquabid.com, BlueChipAquatics.com, and NeptuneAquatics.com for a start.

thanks for the info. I think you are right they are selling mbuna. Also what if I would put invertebrates instead of fishs in it? any advice, suggestions?

thanks!

I would go with some Shell Dwellers. Try to buy some on-line or ask your LFS to get you some.
