Default ahhKiatz's venture into tanganyikan ~

Keeping apistogrammas for awhile now. Decided to venture into tanganyikan shellies since i got 1 compartment empty. Gotten some neolamprologus speciosus from JZX. I must say they are cute little buggers but very aggressive

I thought thicker sand will be better as they will burrow themselves haha. Will siphon out then. Getting more shells definitely! Hope they will colour up soon.

not that you cant, just be careful. otherwise as long as the sandbed is thick enough to hold the shell it is good enough.
