The thing with shellies is they need shells to feel secure and happy, they also breed in them. So if you intend to breed them you would want to add about 15 - 20 shells. They also are fun to watch zipping in and out of the shells.

so are you still using the bottom holes for regular filtration or did you plug them all off and are planning an over the rim filter setup?75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

You can get a whole bag of large, cool-lookin' shells at Hobby Lobby for around 10 bucks.Originally posted by sunkenmetal View Post
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

The baby meleagris are growing nicely! They should be ready for you in a week or two, max. They're already fighting amongst each other and with the adults in the tank.
What are you doing to adjust flow? While they do like some flow, breeding usually isn't successful if there's too much flow.
For pH, mine are in 8.4-8.6 with a fine sand of aragonite/crushed coral (CaribSea's cichlid mix). Just keep that in mind for acclimation, or if you want to add some alkalinizing stuff like rock or sand, that would probably work best.
And I'd definitely recommend dither. Without them, my meleagris adults were very still and didn't do much. With the blue-eyed forktails in there (like Roy said), they're very active and don't even go after the other fish... they just chase each other and the juvies. Other alkaline-loving dither fish that have worked with shellies are other Australian rainbowfish (threadfins, celebese, forktails, gertrudae), platies, and mollies.
Can't wait to see 'em in your tank! You should definitely work on finding more for that big tank since I'll only be able to spare 4-6 max. :)All bleeding stops eventually...Comment
