Hello,

We have just come back from holiday and, having done the obligatory days
on the beach, have returned with a small collection of pleasant shells.
These came from the North-East coast of England if it makes any
difference.

Is there any problem with putting these in my cichlid tank ? Obviously I
would wash them first, but do I need to do anything else ?

TIA

Lots of "it depends" like the pH of the water and the type of
cichlids.

Give us some more details.

Sorry, I was a bit vague ;-)

pH of the water is about 8, but this is an estimate as my test kit ran
out and I haven't bothered replacing it as I so rarely used it.

The cichlids are Malawis.

Please see http://fish.alansilver.co.uk/Mark3/ for more details of the
tank and fish.

Hope this is enough. Thanx for the reply.
