Okay. Well we have since used pieces mesh to block any ways out of the tank thus making it more difficult for the snails to escape again. I even did the same thing with my tank just in case the rams horns decide they want to escape the tank.
I ordered some cichlid caves from Dr. foster and...
Okay! I was worried about the snails getting out of the tank after we had a gold mystery get out of one of our other tanks.
I have ordered some cichlid caves and cichlid food for my soon to be fish. I plan on looking at different sites, seeing what the price is for 2 of the borellii as I won't...
My snails arrived on Thursday and are settling in just fine!!
That is one of the snails. They are moving all over the tank and so far none have tried to escape.
Okay. I will try with the chili rasboras, does 8 sound like a good number? I was told 10 on another site but am worried that might be too much.

Okay. So for tetras could I do some ember tetras? Would 6 of each be too much or too little? I was told on another site that the chili rasboras and ember tetras should be at least 10 each.

I don't think there is a local fish club in my area, how would I go about finding that out?
Oh! I ordered my snails and they should be here on the 31st!! Though the tracking information indicates it might be here sooner. Should I look at getting some small nano fish, like chili rasboras maybe...
I have decided that I'm going to go with the Apistogramma borellii. I have ordered my two snails and I will be looking at adding more plants to my tank over the next month or so. Still not 100% sure on the nano fish, like chili rasboras or something equally small. I may or may not go with them...
Okay. So I can have either fish, just now comes down to me deciding which one I like better or can get easiest. I can get more plants to help with territory establishing, if that would work. Would I need cichlid caves for the borellii? If I did go with the shell dwellers, could I get the shells...
It is a 100 watt heater. That is my mistake.
The reason for the above 50 watts heater is because my room gets cold in the winter, like 60 degrees or so. I also have a window air conditioner in my room in the summer.
Would my tank be fine with 2 Apistogramma Borellii and 2 snails or 4 shell...
I don't have to have all those fish in the tank, it is just a thought. I would be fine with just some cichlids and a 2 snails. Would that be fine in my tank?

Okay. What about if I ended up with two borellii of the opposite gender? The place I'm looking at claims they are a male and female but also says that the sex they are sending isn't guaranteed. So you might end up with two males or two female instead of a male and female.
I was looking at some...
Okay, so if I got for the shell dwellers I can only have them? Would I have to do the same thing if I got two apistogramma borellii?

Okay. I like the lamprologus multifaciatus and the dario. I will be doing some research on them. Is there anything specific I should know about them? I saw that lamprologus multifaciatus are shell dwelling cichlids, I assume I could get shells on amazon if I decided to go with them?
