Leloupi, hecqui, orange scribble are also options and available to me but I don't know much these three. Throw your ideas & suggestions this way...if you have any of these species do you recommend them & why. Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They're cave spawners in my experience, although I guess they might spawn in shells if the shells were big enough. I've kept those, plus multies and brevis from your list. Of the ones you mentioned I think I'd go with signatus or speciosus, both are pretty little fish.

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	Leleupi aren't - but leloupi are. Different fish, believe it or not. Orange scribbles will happily live and spawn in shells; they're not shell dwellers in the lake, but many of our more common species aren't, either, so I'm willing to let them on the list. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
