Also consider some of the "shellies" from Africa, particularly neolamprologus brevis and n. multifasciatus. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |

| Bob Wesolowski Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004 | Common names: Blue or Butterfly ram (m. ramirezi), Bolivian ram (m. altispinosa), Cockatoo Apistogramma (a. cacatuoides). Common names fail with African cichlids. Copy and paste the Latin or scientific names into your search engine. I highly recommend Google so that you can click the pictures tab! __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |

| sumthin_fishy Enthusiast Posts: 237 Kudos: 314 Votes: 16 Registered: 13-Aug-2004 | cool! caudos are awesome looking fish! you'll have to put some pics up some time. FYI some african cichlid shellies we can get here in aust are neolamprologus multifasciatus neolamprologus brevis lamprologus ocellatus (blue, black and gold) they arent super common but i u could find caudos you can find shellies! the occies are usually alot more expensive. |

Theresa_M      Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004  | If you decide on shellies multies would be a good choice. They only require minimal substrate and lots of shells. Occies and brevis should be kept in pairs and IMO a 10g=1 pair only. Multies will easily establish a colony in a 10g. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
