You need to add some shell dwellers

I don't know if I would do shell dwellers if you are going to stick with calvus, from what I have heard, the calvus may eat the shell dwellers. Not sure what to recommend though. . . I don't know the fish from that lake very well. :)

i love shell dwellers but id rather put some calvus in the tank.

so can anyone else help me out?

I have a 3" back calvus that does well in a 29G with half OB Peacocks and half Hap Blu Ahli's. They grow at a slower rate than other fish so he has seen two different batches of 25 fish come and go over the last year and a half and I have had no aggresssion problems. He sticks to his spot on the holey rock and everyone else just swims by...
Good fish to add for a variety...
