Shellies!

  I know cichlid lovers adore shell dwelling cichlids, affectionately referred to as shellies. How do I know? Well, if you've ever attended a swap meet held by the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association you may have noticed that any and all shellies that are up for sale seem to disappear within the first thirty minutes. I sometimes sell as a vendor at these swaps and yesterday I sold three bags of exLamprologus stappersi. They were gone before they hit the table. Not literally, but you get the idea.
  I took a few pictures in the fishroom today. Here are a few shots of my exL. stappersi breeders, Neolamprologus signatus breeders and the young exLamprologus ocellatus "Gold" I purchased at the meet. They are the only fish I bought yesterday - feel free to clap if you'd like.
