Where can I get Multies aka Shell Dwellers in KZN ? ( Neolamprologus multifasciatus)

Hi Guys........where can I get Multies aka Shell Dwellers in KZN ?

Rgds, Haroon

Edit by mod: pm for details

 

Do you know whom in KZN sells or breeds them? The pet stores don't .......

 

They not that common in south african Reedfish, I got mine from a tang keeper in centurion and then from an importer in Britz.

 

Hey @Supa Max

Did you manage to find some?

 

Ah man.. Was worth a shot lol

 

I managed to source a few.....was very scarce for a while

 

Could you maybe point me in a direction to get some please

 

I think people get an email when you mention them. Hoping @Supa Max stick around and breed shell dwellers

 

The problem isn't breeding them, they breed like guppies, the problem is catching the little buggers. Mine hide in their shells and I have to remove their shells to get them out, which leads to the next problem is that u fast run out of shells

 

You can get wild caught from time to time. I have occies and multis but not selling for now

With regards to removing them from their shells one can place shells off the substrate and they eventually leave home. I usually place the shells on my inlet sponge on the cannister filter.

That doesn't help as I have alot of shells, half the tank is covered in shells

 

You don't do it any the same tank. You can even do it in a temporary tub or bucket. You can use a pot inverted to raise the shells of the bottom.

Occies are bloody gangsters.......been there, done that. No more for me

 

I know Samaki Kings will be receiving a new batch of wild caught Tanganyikans shortly.

 

I read somewhere that for their size they are one of the most aggressive fish around
