| I really got interested in the Shellie cichlids after reading the profile detroitfish posted. (click) So I decided to setup a 30 gallon Shellie tank of my very own. As his profile stated they are very neat fish indeed. Its kind of like observing the hustle and bustle of busy city or large construction site from a birds eye view. They are like the ants of the fish world; they allways seem focused on some task. Not trying to  but I just have to say thanks to detroitfish once again for posting all those awesome profiles. Thanks Bud! Ed Here is a few pics of the Shellies and their new home.

| Great little fish. You will have more than you know what to do with in about a month. They never stop breeding, and because they are communial fish the past fry look out for the newest fry.
