Lake tanganyika shell dwellers

Nice looking tank

Frontosa will end up eating the shellies. You may want to reconsider that combination.

 

Yes, and there is that issue too.
A 4 foot tank is too small for them unfortunately.

A friend of mine has a fantastic colony of them in a 7 footer

This is my Lake Tanganyika setup.

There is a fantastic range of Cichlids from this Rift Lake.
Nice and colourful with interesting behaviour.

There are quite a few good options to keep with Shellies.
Just have to try and track them down.

 

That's the thing. They won't be small for long. A well cared for frontosa is going to reach about 30cm for a male, females a bit smaller.
Shellies which max at 4 or 5 cm aren't going to last long with them unfortunately.

There are other Tangs which superficially look like frontosa.
Neo sexfasciatus is blue/grey striped. They are quite aggro though but you may get away with them and the Shellies.
They may be more difficult to track down though.

Some of the Julies may also be worth considering.
