Anybody else keep shelldwellers, cichlids, or other fish?

My shrimp tank ended up with a whole bunch of Endler's, from Ebay...gorgeous and really cute! The shrimp are still small and not colored up, but I got a betta to make my son happy. The shrimp and Endler's keep it active...it's too slow to actually catch any of the shrimp.

My Julidocchromis transcriptus (julie cichlids) just bred for the first time. I saw one little fry. My Neolamprologus brevis (shelldwellers) won't do anything except eat. They supposedly breed easily. I should have got Neolamprologus multifasciatus (a different type of shelldweller). I accidently got 1 multie and he is more exciting and braver than any of my brevis. And he is only 1/2 to 2/3 of the brevis size.

Speaking of breeding, my clownfish just spawned last week. I doubt any of the fry will make it, but it's possible considering all the rockwork and mushroom corals they can hide in.
