Who Gives A Fish Forums

A battery powered bubbler wouldn't have made a difference, unfortunately. The issue wasn't power-related.
I'll be getting more multis soon, though.

Gutted, to be honest. Those little guys had me hooked, and the fry were just starting to appear. Managed to rescue a few cherries and my bn trio, but sadly all the shellies were lost.

Lost the whole bunch to an accident, gutted. Will be getting some more soon and redoing their tank, can't wait to get some more of those little multis.

Not sure I'd be able to capture them on camera, they're pretty fast and always hovering around the shells. Here are some of the adults, btw.

My multis are in a holding tank, no heat since it's summer, and things have been a bit rough with the filter on the fritz for a week or so. Doing some maintenance tonight, and I've got these adorable little multis, so tiny. They'll be sticking around the holding tank for a bit longer. Replacing the ...

I've seen people use eggcrate for the base layer, but there's also a thin rubber sheet you can get that goes between the tank and the rocks. Personally, I just place the rocks straight onto the tank base.

I had the best experience with Lamprologus ocellatus - they may not be the smallest, but they've got huge character. I had one male and a few females, and it was amazing watching them build and guard their homes. The males are quite the charmers, grabbing a female and forcing her into his shell for ...

Wood's fine in the tank, I just don't want tannins. I've had a big enough taste of them with my mopani pieces.

Fry are indeed fun, I can see why you'd want them. A bigger colony does bring more movement to the tank. My multis are pretty active, especially with multiple males in the mix - it's like ...

I've got a decent-sized colony of multis in my tank - it's 2.5 feet long, 15 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. I've found that they're pretty territorial and don't take kindly to other fish being around, so personally I'd advise against adding dithers like danios.

Also, I'd recommend against using ...

To be honest, 1.2 cm just isn't enough for an UGF, regardless of the fish you're keeping. Most UGFs need at least 1.5 - 2 inches of gravel on top to function properly.
