Hey All,
I'm going to be setting up a shellie tank soon, and I thought I'd get your feedback on the setup and stock list. The tank I'm most likely going to use for the setup is my 40 breeder (36 x 18 footprint).
My plan is to get a pair of brevis established and then add a handful of gold occies. I'll try to separate the territories to prevent real-estate disputes between the two species, and I'll try to get plenty of shells.
I was thinking of adding one or two other species for the rest of the tank space, and I'm looking for ideas there. I could probably add a handful of altolamps, julies, or caudopunks. I feel like 3' is probably too short for Paracyps, right? I have also tossed the idea around of getting some non-tangs like Ruby Greens for the open space.
What do you all think? Is mixing shellies going to be a bad idea for me? Any thoughts on what other species I should add?
Thanks!
