Does anyone have much experience or really know anything about this Lake Malawi shell dwellers? I am setting up a 55g Malawi tank and I was just looking into them wondering about them.

Hi,
I have 4 of them in my lake malawi tank and they are half the size of the mbuna but they are the dominit fish in the tank. There is no shells in there they seem to be doing fine without them. The PH is at 8.2 and they are fed spirulina flake and live bbs.

Hope this helps,
Bobby

Thanks Bobby. You just answered by question. Also, how colorful are they? They looked like a nice blue in the picture I saw of them. I'm just trying to figure out my stocking scheme right now.
