If I ever decide to get another small tank, like a ten gal. I think I would like to add solely shell dwellers to it. |

They are absolutely fascinating to watch, but be aware that once they start breeding you will have to upgrade to a larger tank. Shellies (shelldwellers) don't as a rule eat their fry and will live in colonies with several groups of fry at one time with out the fry being eaten. For this reason it is best they be kept alone because other fish tend to eat their fry.

How are your shellies doing btw? I think we could have a 20g for the fry when you're ready to ship.  |

Their still re-arranging the tank. They have buried all the shells except the ones they are living in A couple of them are still a little young so I may have to wait longer than I thought for fry but you are at the top of the list 
It's just so amazing to watch them spit sand at each other like they are big boys and girls LOL

[quote=KonaBoy;358470]Still nothing.....I've posted an add on Shell-Dwellers, and I'll try one on Cichlid-Forum now. Thanks for all the help so far,

Hi Cory..I know what you mean about not having a source for cichlids.....I had resigned to using Aquabid or one of the online stores.
However, I don'[t know how often , if at all, you get to Duluth, but if so, try this place. It is a neat fish store, lots of tanks and stuff; some of the ususual "usual" fish,
"World of Fish"
5211 Miller Trunk Highway
218-729-5161
It is just before the Miller Hill Mall on the way into town, and is open Sundays.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, but the chances of me going to Duluth are slim to none  Do you know of any online stores that ship in or to Canada? |

Well, I have found a source of apistogramma borelli, and from what I've read, a 10 gallon would work for a pair, so I'm going to go with those |

That is great! Is it a local guy or store? I would love to know of a source for small interesting cichlids.
The borelli are sure handsome little guys, and I am sure will be so interesting! I hope you will keep us posted when you get them, with pics if poss!

He's in Thunder Bay, so a bit of a trip for you, but close for me. If you're a member of PlantGeek, he has his own sub-forum, Thunder Bay Aquascapes or something.
