**POST SHELL DWELLER TANKS HERE**

I don't think its possible to have too many shells for a shellie tank. For just a pair though at least 5 shells IMO. Let them choose which one they want to live in because the seem to never live in the ones you want them to. ;) And like Pittbull said, sand is the way to go!
 
yes... i agree
i have black sand in my shellie tank as you can see in my pictures
always have an ample amount of shells
 
ya i like to keep way more shells than need in bunches all throughout the tank , gives more choices and lets any males start up new colonies , instead of fighting !@!
 
my 8 gallon shellie tank has about 10 shells
