33g Mixed shellie

[troy tucker]

I believe Multi is the smallest shellie or smallest known cichlid in the world. The male max out at 1.5"-2".

I have talked to Donovan. He said the smallest are about 1 1/4 of an inch. I forgot the name but I don't know much about Africans.

You might be right. There are unknown cichlid out there in the world.

Would they do good with Mbunas?

Probably not. Mbuna will eventually kill them due to huge size difference.

yes, shellies are much smaller. generally top out around 2 inches for the "large" species. most are under that size when mature. the mbunas would eventually kill them in my opinion. most people keep shellies in smaller species only tanks (like 10-20 gal)

Ok so what is the different in them and Mbunas
