I really like the look of the julidochromis transcriptus an the cyprichromis utintas... The multies seem quite small... But suppose all shell dwellers are...

Are the multies just one species are is der different ones...

Ok that sounds good an that would be the same for the other 2 groups as well..... Should I buy maybe 10 of each group half male an female an the fish that keep getting drove to the top of the tank remove them till I get a pair of each group an let them start growing there colony's.. Are would...

Some of them similis look nice... The way u were saying bout no fry really surviving that why I was this bout maybe 1 species an 1 pair an let them have there fry an all grow... But with 3 species I would be happy with some of the fry surviving from each batch they had till I have a full colony...

Is there any really colourful multies??

Would I be able to start a colony with them... Do they go all over the tank are will they just stay along the bottom....?
