Noddy65 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Ive got Golds, meleagris, speciousus and boulengeriMikesignatus males can be VERY aggressive ...Ive had no luck keeping them in smaller tanks but they do well in bigger tanks ie 3footers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveho Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 how many golds would u guys recomend for a 20g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 signatus males can be VERY aggressive ...Ive had no luck keeping them in smaller tanks but they do well in bigger tanks ie 3footersYep, I used to keep and breed a few pairs in their own 3 foot tanks with alot of success.I didn't find any aggression from the male, however, they were the only the two fish in the tank...how many golds would u guys recomend for a 20gI would recommend a pair only. Once they start breeding they will become very aggressive to anything else in the tank.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveho Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 any other recommended shell dwellers for a 20g that are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucem Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 What size tank are the multi's in? Is it larger than a 20g? If so put the multis in the 20g and give yourself more options in the larger tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noddy65 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm keeping a shell dweller called neolamprologus kungweensisBeen looking for them for years...where did you find them and do you have any fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm keeping a shell dweller called neolamprologus kungweensisThese are not often available so it great to hear that you have them. A number of people have been searching for them in recent times. Mike (Seacow) was looking for them but couldn't find any earlier in the year. Scientifically the accepted name is Lamprologus kungweensis and Neolamprologus kungweensis is a synonym but they need to officially be renamed. The species is referred to as exLamprologus or "Lamprologus" kungweensis as it doesn't fit the characteristics of a true Lamprologus. The exLamprologus or "Lamprologus" names are not proper nomenclature, but an attempt to identify those species that should not be named Lamprologus.

bunts Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 hi guys.the only reason i used the name "neolamprologus" kungweensis is because there is much for information, better pictures and videos of these fish under that name for people who dont know much about shelly's and in particular the kungweensis...... but when i got these guys they went under the name of what Ged was explaining as "lamprologus" kungweensis.....
