I need your opinion on something. Right now, in the 90 are the 10 cyps and 7 adult multies and about eight 1/2" fry. I'm wondering about adding some new blood to the tank and purchasing like 6 more multies. Would this work or would the existing Multies reject them?

I'm not Little Mouslingbut can I step in

I don't think they would necessarily cause the new guys trouble or reject them if you introduce them properly Rearrange the structures inside the tank when you add the new guys, this way they are all on equal grounds...and be sure you don't get any that are a lot smaller than the guys you currently have or uh enough said? heidi

Agreed, you have enough space for them to be accepted IMO. Add new shells with them, and rearrange a bit (but don't go crazy). Watch out for ejected males, of course, but on the whole the group should be allowed in.

The worry would be, for me, that the fry would be in danger - but at 1/2", they're not exactly vulnerable.

How are the Cyps working out for you?
