Simi? not sure what u asking bud. They like many shells.....will dig and cover most shells and leave couple shells for breeding/hiding purposes. Similis can get from NKS or Tangs_Rule, multies maybe from ECtan or Polarpuffs, that's if they're selling.

if im not wrong you are refering to sandshisfters like xenotilapias, enantiopus etc etc. your tank is way too small for them and your substrate is not fine enough. if you really want t you can get a couple of the small ones from NKS to try it out. but not advisable.
