Shell Dweller Cichlid Questions. Help even if you don't keep shellies...
I have 3 small juvenile shell dwellers (Lamprologus brevis 'Kitumba') in a 10 gallon tank. My questions are:
1) How do I feed them? They are so shy when I get to close, they dart into their shells. If I put the sinking pellets in they don't see them. I've fed them live food and frozen bloodwors so they can find food when I'm not around. Any ideas?
2) I would like to get a few more shell dweller maybe have 2 pairs. I have heard of people getting six fish as juveniles and keep the fish that pair up or get along. Would any of you guys reccomend this if I keep up with water changes and such?
3) I used algaefix weekly on another 10 gallon tank without bad cosequences. Can I do it with these fish or are they more sensitive?
