Answer 1

How many times do you have to ask!?

Tanganyikan Shell Dwelling Cichlids exhibit a fascinating breeding practice. They will stay between 1 inch (the smallest species) and 4 inches (the largest species), so go for a species in between. Neolamprologus Brevis, Caudopunktatus, Ocellotus, and Multies are all great choices. Start off with a 10 gallon tank with a well crushed coral sand as well as about 5 large shells (entrances about 1-2 inches). The fish will make these shells their homes, and eventually, their fry's home. In a 10 gallon, you could have a single pair or two pairs in a 15 gallon tank. These fish will often spawn unknown to their owners. You will first see the fry when the parents parade them around the tank. You really have to take no special care of the fry, just keep the water at about 80* with a pH around 8.0. The parents will protect their fry, so you do not (and should NOT) separate the fry from the parents. Email me if you have any questions.

EDIT: Shrimp are not fish. Ghost Shrimp fry are very difficult to raise because they go through a larval stage (unlike many shrimp) where almost all die. If you want to breed shrimp (not fish), look into Red Cherry Shrimp. They are very colorful and will breed on their own (no encouragement necessary).

Also, Convicts are not within the 1/2-2 inch range. Convicts will reach about 5-6 inches and a breeding pair should have a 29 gallon tank (20 is the BARE minimum).
