Suggested Tank Mates For Shell Dwellers

[Sporen]

Right, as I have now got my shellies all living together happily I would like a few suggestions on other tanganyikan tank mates that can happily live with them. The tank is a Rena cube 100 (18 x 18 x 18, holds 100L) and is decorated with lots of shells and rock work (see photos). I am going to build the rocks a bit higher up the back of the tank at the weekend. I would love to have a few other cichlids in there but obviously due to the tank size and the shell dwellers size nothing too big please! The tank currently holds 2 x lamprologus occelatus and 2 x lamprologus meleagris (m+f pairs). I would love a pair of Tanganicodus irsacae but know these guys only come up rarley All suggestions gratefully recieved!
