#101: 40L Biotope Aquascape The multi tank - Lake Tanganyika Biotope

Comments

This Tanganyika biotope is a nice little home for its shell dwellers! The snail shells and the appearance of the rocks is quite accurate for this area of the lake.
— Carlos Sanchez
An attractive tank for a fun and attractive little species. Your tank would benefit from some mid water swimming fish however. These would not only lend interest to the aquascape but would help the Multis feel more comfortable about spending a bit more time outside their shells where you can enjoy them more.
