after a close friend taking the rest of the stock of me i had to think what i was going to put in this tank... that wasnt too hard after seeing alistairs shellie tank i decided to do some looking for the little guys, which prooved very hard to find!!!

either lamprologus signatus or ocellatus gold. Rolling Eyes

so heres the rekord so far...

is this enough surface agitation to have without an airpump?..

Yes - that's fine so long as you're going for a normal stock density.
