OK guys finally was able to setup a shell dweller tank. Thanks to Bappa Da for the tank and Vishaal to get it over and Partha to get it scaped.

Tank : 21 x 21 x 21 inch cube ( Viewable from two sides)
Substrate : White sugar sand
Filtration : Internal power filter 800 Lts/Hr with sponge and sintered glass rings
Hardscape : Handpicked rocks and some empty shells
Fauna: Mystery snails and some un-identified Indian snails. Telmatochromis temporalis-4


Initial scape :

Abhishek sir,

Nice one you need caves, shells are not the prime requirement in keeping T.Temporalis because they hangout mostly in the cave region.

If you remember how Kartick has kept it you can figure it out..
