I am looking at getting back into aquaria, and have experience with lake
Malawi cichlids. I am considering setting up a 10 gallon tank in my
office with Neolamprologus brevis, ocellatus, or other small shell
dwelling cichlids.

- Anyone tried such a set-up?
- How many would live comfortably in a 10 gallon?
- Are there other fish that would work with them. I have heard that
white clouds can do ok.
- Any of the shell dwellers easier to keep/ prettier than others?
- Any suggestions on avoiding breeding? I don't want to deal with fry .
.. . Do they eat thier babies?
- Is a smaller tank possible? I was thinking about an eclipse 6.

Any ideas, experiences are welcome.

Thanks,
Chris
