Thanks Matt!  Currently they are in a 40g tall, but I am looking for a 
larger tank for them, hopefully around 60g.  I did not know I could mix 
shell dwellers in with them.  I used to have frontosas and loved them, but I 
think I would need a 100g+ tank for them.  I like the idea of shellies since 
they tend to stick to the lower part of the tank.  The brichardis stick to 
the upper mid levels of the tank.

Monica
