Looking for shell dwellers

[graffan77]

Hello everyone, Any has multis, similis, or brevis for my new 20 gallon long setup? I'm in Northern VA.

Suggestions are welcome. Thank you

I have Lamprologus Gold Ocellatus (F2) (Lake Tanganyikan SHELL DWELLER)
young about 1 inch fish $20 each ( 10 available), pairs are $60 (two pairs available)
Could meet at any PVAS or CCA meeting. Or ship.

Does 'pair' mean a male+female, while 'each' means they are too young to be sexed yet?

A bit hesitant as my tank is small, and I read ocellatus show more intraspecific aggression than multis. Would it be okay if I confirm a couple of days before the PVAS meet on May 4th?

 

[Frank Cowherd]

Yes, pair means a male and a female. And the others are now around an inch but it would be hard to specify what sex they are.
I usually put up a list of what I have available on the forums of both clubs one week prior to their respective meetings. Orders for fish and cultures are accepted on the same threads or by contacting me at aquaticlifefarm@gmail.com My last listing on the CCA website was https://www.capitalcichlids.org/for...ed-to-saturday-april-13th-2019-cca-mtg.35095/

Thank you Frank. I did some research and I'd like to purchase 6 juveniles. I'll send you an email as well.

I hope they are not siblings as I'd like them to be married with babies in the future

That’s not a big concern in fish, especially this closely removed from the wild (f2 means second generation removed from wild). That’s actually the whole concept of linebreeding, and how many popular color morphs of fish have come about
