    I just love these fish. They look like they have black eyeliner on, and some pink blush! Very attractive, entertaining fish. Definitely a favorite of your many tanks!

    I have really fancied getting these fish, since seeing them on your live stream a while ago. So glad you did this video, loved seeing them again.
    Your looking so much better since the surgery. Each video/ and your live stream you did after the surgery, you can see your improvement, less amount of pain in your face! 💕 keep improving 💕

    Their reputation has always suggested no plants. They do their own aquascaping. Your idea of plants in rocks, is great! I am getting some of these next month, still working on the tank! Thanks for the idea!!

    I've been researching care requirements for these fish for the past 4 days. What a coincidence that you should release this video today!

    They are really the cutest things. The fact that they dwell in shells is truly fascinating.

    I got 4 female and 2 male multifasciatus on June 9 and put them in their own 10 gallon tank, and I just found fry in the tank today.

    I had never heard of these before... discover new fish all the time in your vids! These guys are super cute. I like the music you used in the "gratuitous footage", it's cool. Reminds me of TRON for some reason, lol. Seriously am I the only one who thinks of TRON listening to that???

    I'm, liking these shell dwellers more and more, can you direct me as to where I can order some , and how many I should start off with?

    I had been thinking to get these in a 20L, like a lot of other folks. When I saw you set up this one, I changed my mind and now aim at a 55, with the 20L as the sump.
    I love plants in the tank, which don’t always mix with cichlids. Since you’re having success with rockwork plants, I think I’ll try that. Is the sponge the only filter?
    Looks great.

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому

      Yes. There are two sponge filters (one at each side of the tank)

  • @schauman1

    I'm setting up a shellie tank. I want to try to breed them. Is there any other fish I could keep with them that wouldn't stop them from breeding? I love your videos! Thanks

  • @JP-vb4ky

    Hi Rachel, thanks for making your videos. Question: do you sell the shell dwellers? And if not, do you know a place where I can purchase them? Thank you!

    long time viewer here you make great videos I was wondering if you could do a species spot light on the dragon goby or violet goby as there seems to be a lot of conflicting information about how to keep them

  • @presouz1740
    @presouz1740 6 років тому

    Oh Circle of life you talking about more particles falling to the babies and out grown-up just sucked a baby right up breaks my heart I know it happens it happens to me all the time too with my guppys

  • @ceebs83

    Have you thought of getting more/female sardine cichlids? I hear they're a schooling fish

  • @wendigolycan
    @wendigolycan 6 років тому

    Love those sardines! Can you have them in larger numbers? I'll try to find some in the near future...

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому +1

      Yes. They are best in bigger groups and large tanks. They are unfortunately VERY fragile in shipping

    Hi Rachel, what's your opinion on sugar being one of the listed ingredients on the Sera O-Nip tablets? I ordered some recently without reading the ingredients list and was surprised to see sugar listed in the fish food.

  • @MiniMatt317
    @MiniMatt317 6 років тому

    love these little guys!! easy to breed! any plans to get other species of shell dwellers?

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому

      Hopefully!

    • @MiniMatt317
      @MiniMatt317 6 років тому

      look into lamprologus ocellatus. A little monster with massive a attiude! good fun to watch!! they are a harem breeder and not the best parents.

  • @nozr1383
    @nozr1383 6 років тому

    Are you planning on selling any. I can't find any where I live.

  • @claralemaitre9356
    @claralemaitre9356 6 років тому

    The shelleys and the sardine cichlids are probably the only cichlids I would consider keeping ^^ I really don't like the otehr cichlids' looks x)

    How do you syphon the gravel without sucking up there babies/disturbing their home???

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  4 роки тому

      I pinch off the hose so the suction is gentle

  • @redking1831

    are the plecos breeding in the tank too?

  • @catfishcave379

    Rachel, I notice that some of the Multi's have long, stringy poops. Are they having constipation issues or is that a parasitic infection or what?

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 років тому +2

      It's from the freeze dried food in the onip mix. Long stringy poo is a terrible way to diagnose issues unless you take diet into consiseration

  • @crazyfishlady1728

  • @evanscott7652

    I'm sure you're losing tons of baby fries because of the catfish species in the aquarium.
