just want to seek feedback in choosing what you prefer on these 2 lamprologus species.
both were available at thier decent sizes with a 13x13x8 inch tank full of shells waiting for one of thespecies. i could get a trio or more it just choosing what will i get.

so if you were me.. what will you get and why? tia!

Depends on what your prefernces are. The caudopunks don't use shells all that often, and sometimes tend to school and roam. They get up to @ 4 inches or 10.5 cm. Ornatipinnis are more homebodies and tend to stay more in a claimed territory, and are smaller, but have a bit less coloration.
With the tank you're setting up, IMO, probably ornatipinnis will be a better fit.
