Earlier this year, I attempted to create an easy 20-gallon long aquascape for 6 Neolamprologus multifasciatus (or multies) that my coworker Zenzo from @TazawaTanks sent me. Today, the aquarium looks completely wrecked. Let’s talk about the pros and cons I’ve learned since keeping this fish and whether or not they’re worth it.
