Wingsdlc    Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005   | Are there any breeds of Africans that stay small enough to be in a 15 gal tank? 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric |

Some dwarfs or maybe Rams might work,but I would suggest at least a 30 gallon tank. I would really even be skeptical about putting shellies in a 15 gallon tank as they also usually need a larger tank. |

littlemousling   Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | There are a lot of species of shelldweller and a lot of them would work extremely well in a 15 gallon - the top best bets are N. multifasciatus and N. brevis, both of which maintain very small territories. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

ACIDRAIN  Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002  | I agree with mousling, as those will do very well in a 15 gal, as well, a pair of occilatus (sp?) will also do great. I have spawned all of those species of fish in 10 gal tanks many times. There is always a bigger fish... |

| littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | Ocellatus.  Personally I agree about occies and their counterparts (meleagris, speciosus, etc) in a 15, but there's a growing tide of dissention, and they're not wrong that occies like a bit of footroom. So they work, but my top choices would be the other two species or similis. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
