maligne Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I just set up a 20 gallon shell dweller tank. I have 3 males and three female L. Similis. One of the females has some fry. Should I move the fry to their own set up or should I just leave them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 They'll be fine all together. Lots of people raise colonies of over 100 in set ups similar to what you have... maybe just get a few more shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Cool thanks. where is the best place to get shells from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think I got most of my shells at Dollarama or Michaels or something like that - check the craft isle at most department stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I went to dollarama. $1.50 for a bag of ten or so shells. All really good. Michaels ws expensive and their shells where not really suitable. Thanks again for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_s Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Some Walmarts have big bag of shells in their Arts & Crafts sections. There is a wide variety of sizes in a bag for twelve dollars. I have found the dollar store shells in my area to be a little on the small side. But in the Walmart bag I found lots big enough for my shellies & then some that were even big enough for my N. calvus which are a lot bigger than shellies.

Sharleend Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Do you do anything special to prepare shells purchased at the dollar store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just give them a quick rinse. Some ppl prefer to boil them in case of pathogens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
