Thanks for the replies! I’m leaning towards going with multis since this is my first attempt and although not the most colorful the easiest to care for. Our water here is high in ph and very hard so I’ve got that going for me.
I’m starting a 40 gallon breeder with shell dwellers. I really like the black ocellatus and was wondering if starting off with six will be feasible. Do they colonize similar to the multis and similis?
